| Chapter 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 to his name; for it is pleasant. --
|
4 |
For the LORD hath chosen Jacob to 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 |
Whatever the LORD pleased, that did he in heaven, and in earth, in the seas, and all deep places. --
|
7 |
He causeth the vapors 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 first-born 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 a heritage, a heritage to 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 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 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, who dwelleth at Jerusalem. Praise ye the LORD. --
