|
|
| 135:1
Praise ye the LORD. 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. |
"Our Lord is above all gods."
How many gods are there?
|
| 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. |
(135:8, 10)
God is praised for slaughtering kings, nations, and little babies.
 "Who killed the first born of Egypt from man even
to beast"
(Unknown, 12th Century)

| 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. |
|

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.
