Psalms 135

Thomson(i) 1 An Alleluia. Praise the name of the Lord; praise the Lord, ye his servants, 2 who wait in the house of the Lord; in the courts of the house of our God. 3 Praise the Lord; for the Lord is good; with instruments of musick praise his name; for it is good. 4 For the Lord hath made choice of Jacob for himself; of Israel for his peculiar treasure. 5 For I know that the Lord is great, and that our Lord is above all the Gods. 6 All that the Lord pleased he hath done in heaven and on earth: in the seas and in all the deeps. 7 When he brought clouds from the end of the earth; he made lightnings for the purpose of rain. He it is who bringeth winds out of his treasuries: 8 who smote the first born of Egypt: the first born both of man and beast. 9 Amidst thee, Egypt, he sent his signs and wonders, on Pharao and on all his servants. 10 It was he who smote many nations; and slew kings of mighty power; 11 Seon king of the Amorites, and Og, the king of Basan, and all the kingdoms of Chanaan; 12 and gave their land for an inheritance; for an inheritance for his people Israel. 13 Lord, thy name is forever, and the memorial of thee to all generations; 14 for the Lord will judge his people, and take comfort in his servants. 15 The idols of the nations are gold and silver; the workmanship of men's hands. 16 They have a mouth, but cannot speak: eyes they have, but they cannot see; 17 they have ears, but they cannot hear; nor is there any breath in their mouth. 18 May they who make them be like them; and all they who have trusted in them. 19 O house of Israel, bless ye the Lord: bless the Lord ye of the house of Aaron. 20 O house of Levi, bless ye the Lord; bless him, ye who fear the Lord. 21 Blessed be the Lord in Sion; he who inhabiteth Jerusalem.
