PSALM 135
Common Meter: 8,6,8,6
1Praise ye the Lord, the Lord's name praise;
his servants, praise ye God.
2Who stand in God's house, in the courts
of our God make abode.
3Praise ye the Lord, for he is good;
unto him praises sing:
Sing praises to his name, because
it is a pleasant thing.
4For Jacob to himself the Lord
did chuse of his good pleasure,
And he hath chosen Israel
for his peculiar treasure.
5Because I know assuredly
the Lord is very great,
And that our Lord above all gods
in glory hath his seat.
6What things soever pleas'd the Lord,
that in the heav'n did he,
And in the earth, the seas,
and all the places deep that be.
7He from the ends of earth doth make
the vapours to ascend;
With rain he lightnings makes, and wind
doth from his treasures send.
8Egypt's first-born, from man to beast
9who smote. Strange tokens he
On Phar'oh and his servants sent,
Egypt, in midst of thee.
10He smote great nations, slew great kings:
11Sihon of Heshbon king,
And Og of Bashan, and to nought
did Canaan's kingdoms bring:
12And for a wealthy heritage
their pleasant land he gave,
An heritage which Israel,
his chosen folk, should have.
13Thy name, O Lord, shall still endure,
and thy memorial
With honour shall continu'd be
to generations all.
14For why? the righteous God will judge
his people righteously;
Concerning those that do him serve,
himself repent will he.
15The idols of the nations
of silver are and gold,
And by the hands of men is made
their fashion and mould.
16Mouths have they, but they do not speak;
eyes, but they do not see;
17Ears have they, but hear not; and in
their mouths no breathing be.
18Their makers are like them; so are
all that on them rely.
19O Isr'el's house, bless God; bless God,
O Aaron's family.
20O bless the Lord, of Levi's house
ye who his servants are;
And bless the holy name of God,
all ye the Lord that fear.
21And blessed be the Lord our God
from Sion's holy hill,
Who dwelleth at Jerusalem.
The Lord O praise ye still.

PSALM 135
1Hallelujah! Praise the name of Jehovah; praise, ye servants of Jehovah, 2Ye that stand in the house of Jehovah, in the courts of the house of our God#GodHebrew: Elohim 3Praise ye Jah; for Jehovah is good: sing psalms unto his name; for it is pleasant. 4For Jah hath chosen Jacob unto himself, Israel for his own possession.
5For I know that Jehovah is great, and our Lord is above all gods. 6Whatsoever Jehovah pleased, he hath done in the heavens and on the earth, in the seas and all deeps; 7Who causeth the vapours to ascend from the ends of the earth; who maketh lightnings for the rain; who bringeth the wind out of his treasuries: 8Who smote the firstborn of Egypt, both of man and beast; 9Who sent signs and miracles into the midst of thee, O Egypt, upon Pharaoh and upon all his servants; 10Who smote great nations, and slew mighty kings, 11Sihon king of the Amorites, and Og king of Bashan, and all the kingdoms of Canaan; 12And gave their land for an inheritance, an inheritance unto Israel his people. 13Thy name, O Jehovah, is for ever; thy memorial, O Jehovah, from generation to generation. 14For Jehovah will judge his people, and will repent in favour of his servants.
15The idols of the nations are silver and gold, the work of men's hands: 16They have a mouth, and they speak not; eyes have they, and they see not; 17They have ears, and they hear not; neither is there any breath in their mouth. 18They that make them are like unto them, — every one that confideth in them. 19House of Israel, bless ye Jehovah; house of Aaron, bless ye Jehovah; 20House of Levi, bless ye Jehovah; ye that fear Jehovah, bless Jehovah. 21Blessed be Jehovah out of Zion, who dwelleth at Jerusalem! Hallelujah!
