Praise ye the name of the LORD; praise [him,] O ye servants of the LORD. {135:2} Ye that stand in the house of the LORD, in the courts of the house of our God, {135:3} Praise the LORD; for the LORD [is] good: sing praises unto his name; for [it is] pleasant. {135:4} For the LORD hath chosen Jacob unto himself, [and] Israel for his peculiar treasure. {135:5} For I know that the LORD [is] great, and [that] our Lord [is] above all gods. {135:6} Whatsoever the LORD pleased, [that] did he in heaven, and in earth, in the seas, and all deep places. {135:7} 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. {135:8} Who smote the firstborn of Egypt, both of man and beast. {135:9} [Who] sent tokens and wonders into the midst of thee, O Egypt, upon Pharaoh, and upon all his servants. {135:10} Who smote great nations, and slew mighty kings; {135:11} Sihon king of the Amorites, and Og king of Bashan, and all the kingdoms of Canaan: {135:12} And gave their land [for] an heritage, an heritage unto Israel his people. {135:13} Thy name, O LORD, [endureth] for ever; [and] thy memorial, O LORD, throughout all generations. {135:14} For the LORD will judge his people, and he will repent himself concerning his servants. {135:15} The idols of the heathen [are] silver and gold, the work of men’s hands. {135:16} They have mouths, but they speak not; eyes have they, but they see not; {135:17} They have ears, but they hear not; neither is there [any] breath in their mouths. {135:18} They that make them are like unto them: [so is] every one that trusteth in them. {135:19} Bless the LORD, O house of Israel: bless the LORD, O house of Aaron: {135:20} Bless the LORD, O house of Levi: ye that fear the LORD, bless the LORD. {135:21} Blessed be the LORD out of Zion, which dwelleth at Jerusalem. Praise ye the LORD. Psalm 136 {136:1} O give thanks unto the LORD; for [he is] good: for his mercy [endureth] for ever. {136:2} O give thanks unto the God of gods: for his mercy [endureth] for ever. {136:3} O give thanks to the Lord of lords: for his mercy [endureth] for ever. {136:4} To him who alone doeth great wonders: for his mercy [endureth] for ever. {136:5} To him that by wisdom made the heavens: for his mercy [endureth] for ever. {136:6} To him that stretched out the earth above the waters: for his mercy [endureth] for ever. {136:7} To him that made great lights: for his mercy [endureth] for ever: {136:8} The sun to rule by day: for his mercy [endureth] for ever: {136:9} The moon and stars to rule by night: for his mercy [endureth] for ever.
