Psalms 135

1 Hallelujah! Praise the name of the LORD. Give praise, O servants of the LORD,

1 Praise ye the LORD. Praise ye the name of the LORD; praise him, O ye servants of the LORD.

2 who stand in the house of the LORD, in the courts of the house of our God.

2 Ye that stand in the house of the LORD, in the courts of the house of our God,

3 Hallelujah, for the LORD is good; sing praises to His name, for it is lovely.

3 Praise the LORD; for the LORD is good: sing praises unto his name; for it is pleasant.

4 For the LORD has chosen Jacob as His own, Israel as His treasured possession.

4 For the LORD hath chosen Jacob unto himself, and Israel for his peculiar treasure.

5 For I know that the LORD is great; our Lord is above all gods.

5 For I know that the LORD is great, and that our Lord is above all gods.

6 The LORD does all that pleases Him in the heavens and on the earth, in the seas and in all their depths.

6 Whatsoever the LORD pleased, that did he in heaven, and in earth, in the seas, and all deep places.

7 He causes the clouds to rise from the ends of the earth. He generates the lightning with the rain and brings forth the wind from His storehouses.

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 He struck down the firstborn of Egypt, of both man and beast.

8 Who smote the firstborn of Egypt, both of man and beast.

9 He sent signs and wonders into your midst, O Egypt, against Pharaoh and all his servants.

9 Who sent tokens and wonders into the midst of thee, O Egypt, upon Pharaoh, and upon all his servants.

10 He struck down many nations and slaughtered mighty kings:

10 Who smote great nations, and slew mighty kings;

11 Sihon king of the Amorites, Og king of Bashan, and all the kings of Canaan.

11 Sihon king of the Amorites, and Og king of Bashan, and all the kingdoms of Canaan:

12 He gave their land as an inheritance, as a heritage to His people Israel.

12 And gave their land for an heritage, an heritage unto Israel his people.

13 Your name, O LORD, endures forever, Your renown, O LORD, through all generations.

13 Thy name, O LORD, endureth for ever; and thy memorial, O LORD, throughout all generations.

14 For the LORD will vindicate His people and will have compassion on His servants.

14 For the LORD will judge his people, and he will repent himself concerning his servants.

15 The idols of the nations are silver and gold, made by the hands of men.

15 The idols of the heathen are silver and gold, the work of men’s hands.

16 They have mouths, but cannot speak; they have eyes, but cannot see;

16 They have mouths, but they speak not; eyes have they, but they see not;

17 they have ears, but cannot hear; nor is there breath in their mouths.

17 They have ears, but they hear not; neither is there any breath in their mouths.

18 Those who make them become like them, as do all who trust in them.

18 They that make them are like unto them: so is every one that trusteth in them.

19 O house of Israel, bless the LORD; O house of Aaron, bless the LORD;

19 Bless the LORD, O house of Israel: bless the LORD, O house of Aaron:

20 O house of Levi, bless the LORD; you who fear the LORD, bless the LORD!

20 Bless the LORD, O house of Levi: ye that fear the LORD, bless the LORD.

21 Blessed be the LORD from Zion—He who dwells in Jerusalem. Hallelujah!

21 Blessed be the LORD out of Zion, which dwelleth at Jerusalem. Praise ye the LORD.
