A Song of degrees. Of David.

133 Behold, how good and how pleasant it is for brethren to dwell together in unity!

² Like the precious oil upon the head, that ran down upon the beard, upon Aaron's beard, that ran down to the hem of his garments;

³ As the dew of Hermon that descendeth on the mountains of Zion; for there hath Jehovah commanded the blessing, life for evermore.

A Song of degrees.

134 Behold, bless Jehovah, all ye servants of Jehovah, who by night stand in the house of Jehovah.

² Lift up your hands in the sanctuary, and bless Jehovah.

³ Jehovah, the maker of heavens and earth, bless thee out of Zion.

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!
