Psalm 135

PRaise ye the Lord, and his great name
praise ye with one accord,
O praise him still all ye that be
the servants of the Lord.
All ye that stand in the Lords house,
aloud his praises sound,
Praise him all ye that in the Courts
of our great God are found.

Praise ye the Lord, for he is good,
yea, praises to him sing,
Sing praises to his name, because
it is a pleasant thing.
For Jacob to himself the Lord
of his good will chose he,
And his peculiar treasure he
did Israel take to be.

For well I know the Lord our God
is great in Majesty,
And that he is above all gods
advanc'd exceeding high.
In heaven and in earth he did
what ever him did please,
And in deep places here below,
and in the swelling seas.

He from the ends of th' earth doth cause
the vapours to ascend
For rain, he lightnings makes, and winds
doth from his treasures send.
All the first-born he smote with death
in the Egyptians land,
The first-born both of man and beast
he slew by hls strong hand.

He hath in thee shew'd wonders great,
and tokens which did fall
On Egypt, on Pharaoh thy King,
and on his servants all.
He also nations great and strong
smote down, and overthrew,
And when his people they oppos'd,
their mighty Kings he slew.

The Second Part.

Sihon King of the Amorites,
and Og of Bashan King,
Of Canaan he the Kingdomes all
did to subjection bring,
And for an heritage he gave
their land to Israel,
His people, for an heritage
for them therein to dwell.

Thy name, O Lord God, shall endure,
and thy memoriall
For evermore shall be preserv'd
to generations all.
For the Lord God his people will
at length to judge arise,
And will repent himself for all
his servants miseries.

The idolls which are worshipped
abroad in Heathen lands,
They are but gold and silver, all
the work of mens own hands.
A mouth they have, but do not speak,
and eyes, but never saw,
And they have ears, but nothing hear,
their mouth no breath doth draw.

As sensless as they be, are those
that do them form and make,
And so are all that trust in them,
and for their gods them take.
But bless the everlasting Lord,
thou house of Israel,
Bless thou the Lord, O Aarons house,
who onely doth excel.

O all ye holy family
of Levi bless the Lord,
And all ye that do fear the Lord,
bless him with one accord.
Out of Zion his dwelling place,
let the Lord blessed be,
Who dwelleth at Jerusalem,
the living Lord praise ye.
