135 |
| 1 |
Praise ye the LORD. Praise ye the name of the LORD; praise him, O ye servants
of the LORD. |
| 2 | Ye that
stand in the house of the LORD, in the courts of the house of our God. |
| 3 | Praise the LORD; for the LORD is
good: sing praises unto his name; for it is pleasant. |
| 4 | For the LORD hath chosen Jacob unto
himself, and Israel for his peculiar treasure. |
|
5 | For I know that the LORD is great, and that our Lord
is above all gods. |
| 6 |
Whatsoever the LORD pleased, that did he in heaven, and in earth, in the seas,
and all deep places. |
| 7 | He
causeth the vapours to ascend from the ends of the earth; he maketh lightnings
for the rain; he bringeth the wind out of his treasuries. |
| 8 | Who smote the firstborn of Egypt, both
of man and beast. |
| 9 | Who
sent tokens and wonders into the midst of thee, O Egypt, upon Pharaoh, and upon
all his servants. |
| 10 | Who
smote great nations, and slew mighty kings; |
| 11 | Sihon king of the Amorites, and Og king of Bashan, and
all the kingdoms of Canaan: |
| 12
| And gave their land for an heritage, an heritage unto Israel his
people. |
| 13 | Thy name, O
LORD, endureth for ever; and thy memorial, O LORD, throughout all
generations. |
| 14 | For the
LORD will judge his people, and he will repent himself concerning his
servants. |
| 15 | The idols
of the heathen are silver and gold, the work of men's hands. |
| 16 | They have mouths, but they speak not;
eyes have they, but they see not; |
|
17 | They have ears, but they hear not; neither is there any breath
in their mouths. |
| 18 | They
that make them are like unto them: so is every one that trusteth in them. |
| 19 | Bless the LORD, O house
of Israel: bless the LORD, O house of Aaron: |
| 20 | Bless the LORD, O house of Levi: ye that fear the LORD,
bless the LORD. |
| 21 |
Blessed be the LORD out of Zion, which dwelleth at Jerusalem. Praise ye the
LORD. |
