Psalm 135-136

Darby Translation

135 Hallelujah! Praise the name of Jehovah; praise, ye servants of Jehovah,

² Ye that stand in the house of Jehovah, in the courts of the house of our God.

³ Praise ye Jah; for Jehovah is good: sing psalms unto his name; for it is pleasant.

⁴ For Jah hath chosen Jacob unto himself, Israel for his own possession.

⁵ For *I* know that Jehovah is great, and our Lord is above all gods.

⁶ Whatsoever Jehovah pleased, he hath done in the heavens and on the earth, in the seas and all deeps;

⁷ Who causeth the vapours to ascend from the ends of the earth; who maketh lightnings for the rain; who bringeth the wind out of his treasuries:

⁸ Who smote the firstborn of Egypt, both of man and beast;

⁹ Who sent signs and miracles into the midst of thee, O Egypt, upon Pharaoh and upon all his servants;

¹⁰ Who smote great nations, and slew mighty kings,

¹¹ Sihon king of the Amorites, and Og king of Bashan, and all the kingdoms of Canaan;

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

¹³ Thy name, O Jehovah, is for ever; thy memorial, O Jehovah, from generation to generation.

¹⁴ For Jehovah will judge his people, and will repent in favour of his servants.

¹⁵ The idols of the nations are silver and gold, the work of men's hands:

¹⁶ They have a mouth, and they speak not; eyes have they, and they see not;

¹⁷ They have ears, and they hear not; neither is there any breath in their mouth.

¹⁸ They that make them are like unto them,—every one that confideth in them.

¹⁹ House of Israel, bless ye Jehovah; house of Aaron, bless ye Jehovah;

²⁰ House of Levi, bless ye Jehovah; ye that fear Jehovah, bless Jehovah.

²¹ Blessed be Jehovah out of Zion, who dwelleth at Jerusalem! Hallelujah!

136 Give ye thanks unto Jehovah, for he is good; for his loving-kindness [endureth] for ever:

² Give thanks unto the God of gods, for his loving-kindness [endureth] for ever;

³ Give thanks unto the Lord of lords, for his loving-kindness [endureth] for ever.

⁴ To him who alone doeth great wonders, for his loving-kindness [endureth] for ever:

⁵ To him that by understanding made the heavens, for his loving-kindness [endureth] for ever;

⁶ To him that stretched out the earth above the waters, for his loving-kindness [endureth] for ever;

⁷ To him that made great lights, for his loving-kindness [endureth] for ever;

⁸ The sun for rule over the day, for his loving-kindness [endureth] for ever,

⁹ The moon and stars for rule over the night, for his loving-kindness [endureth] for ever:

¹⁰ To him that smote Egypt in their firstborn, for his loving-kindness [endureth] for ever,

¹¹ And brought out Israel from among them, for his loving-kindness [endureth] for ever,

¹² With a powerful hand and with a stretched-out arm, for his loving-kindness [endureth] for ever;

¹³ To him that divided the Red sea into parts, for his loving-kindness [endureth] for ever,

¹⁴ And made Israel to pass through the midst of it, for his loving-kindness [endureth] for ever,

¹⁵ And overturned Pharaoh and his host in the Red sea, for his loving-kindness [endureth] for ever;

¹⁶ To him that led his people through the wilderness, for his loving-kindness [endureth] for ever;

¹⁷ To him that smote great kings, for his loving-kindness [endureth] for ever,

¹⁸ And slew famous kings, for his loving-kindness [endureth] for ever;

¹⁹ Sihon king of the Amorites, for his loving-kindness [endureth] for ever,

²⁰ And Og king of Bashan, for his loving-kindness [endureth] for ever;

²¹ And gave their land for an inheritance, for his loving-kindness [endureth] for ever,

²² An inheritance unto Israel his servant, for his loving-kindness [endureth] for ever:

²³ Who hath remembered us in our low estate, for his loving-kindness [endureth] for ever;

²⁴ And hath delivered us from our oppressors, for his loving-kindness [endureth] for ever:

²⁵ Who giveth food to all flesh, for his loving-kindness [endureth] for ever.

²⁶ Give ye thanks unto the God of the heavens; for his loving-kindness [endureth] for ever.
