Psalm 133

Living in Harmony

A Davidic song of ascents.

How good and pleasant it is
when brothers live together in harmony!(A)
It is like fine oil on the head,
running down on the beard,
running down Aaron’s beard
onto his robes.(B)
It is like the dew of Hermon[a]
falling on the mountains of Zion.(C)
For there the Lord has appointed the blessing—
life forevermore.(D)

Psalm 134

Call to Evening Worship

A song of ascents.

Now praise the Lord,
all you servants of the Lord
who stand in the Lord’s house at night!(E)
Lift up your hands in the holy place
and praise the Lord!(F)

May the Lord,
Maker of heaven and earth,
bless you from Zion.(G)

Psalm 135

Yahweh Is Great

Hallelujah!
Praise the name of Yahweh.
Give praise, you servants of Yahweh(H)
who stand in the house of Yahweh,
in the courts of the house of our God.(I)
Praise Yahweh, for Yahweh is good;
sing praise to His name, for it is delightful.(J)
For Yahweh has chosen Jacob for Himself,
Israel as His treasured possession.(K)

For I know that Yahweh is great;
our Lord is greater than all gods.(L)
Yahweh does whatever He pleases
in heaven and on earth,
in the seas and all the depths.(M)
He causes the clouds to rise from the ends of the earth.
He makes lightning for the rain
and brings the wind from His storehouses.(N)

He struck down the firstborn of Egypt,
both man and beast.(O)
He sent signs and wonders against you, Egypt,
against Pharaoh and all his officials.(P)
10 He struck down many nations
and slaughtered mighty kings:(Q)
11 Sihon king of the Amorites,
Og king of Bashan,
and all the kings of Canaan.(R)
12 He gave their land as an inheritance,
an inheritance to His people Israel.(S)

13 Yahweh, Your name endures forever,
Your reputation, Yahweh,
through all generations.(T)
14 For Yahweh will vindicate His people
and have compassion on His servants.(U)

15 The idols of the nations are of silver and gold,
made by human hands.(V)
16 They have mouths but cannot speak,(W)
eyes, but cannot see.
17 They have ears but cannot hear;
indeed, there is no breath in their mouths.(X)
18 Those who make them are just like them,
as are all who trust in them.(Y)

19 House of Israel, praise Yahweh!(Z)
House of Aaron, praise Yahweh!(AA)
20 House of Levi, praise Yahweh!
You who revere the Lord, praise the Lord!(AB)
21 May the Lord be praised from Zion;(AC)
He dwells in Jerusalem.(AD)
Hallelujah!
