Psalm 134–135

Psalm 134

Alleluia. Praise ye the name of the Lord: O you his servants, praise the Lord:

²You that stand in the house of the Lord, in the courts of the house of our God.

³Praise ye the Lord, for the Lord is good: sing ye to his name, for it is sweet.

⁴For the Lord hath chosen Jacob unto himself: Israel for his own possession.

⁵For I have known that the Lord is great, and our God is above all gods.

⁶Whatsoever the Lord pleased he hath done, in heaven, in earth, in the sea, and in all the deeps.

⁷He bringeth up clouds from the end of the earth: he hath made lightnings for the rain. He bringeth forth winds out of his stores:

⁸He slew the firstborn of Egypt from man even unto beast.

⁹He sent forth signs and wonders in the midst of thee, O Egypt: upon Pharao, and upon all his servants.

¹⁰He smote many nations, and slew mighty kings:

¹¹Sehon king of the Amorrhites, and Og king of Basan, and all the kingdoms of Chanaan.

¹²And gave their land for an inheritance, for an inheritance to his people Israel.

¹³Thy name, O Lord, is for ever: thy memorial, O Lord, unto all generations.

¹⁴For the Lord will judge his people, and will be entreated in favour of his servants.

¹⁵The idols of the Gentiles are silver and gold, the works of men’s hands.

¹⁶They have a mouth, but they speak not: they have eyes, but they see not.

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

¹⁸Let them that make them be like to them: and every one that trusteth in them.

¹⁹Bless the Lord, O house of Israel: bless the Lord, O house of Aaron.

²⁰Bless the Lord, O house of Levi: you that fear the Lord, bless the Lord.

²¹Blessed be the Lord out of Sion, who dwelleth in Jerusalem.

²⁴And he redeemed us from our enemies: for his mercy endureth for ever.

²⁵Who giveth food to all flesh: for his mercy endureth for ever.

²⁶Give glory to the God of heaven: for his mercy endureth for ever.

²⁷Give glory to the Lord of lords: for his mercy endureth for ever.
