Give Praise, O Servants of the LORD

1(134:1) Alleluia. Praise ye the name of the Lord; praise the Lord, ye his servants,

2(134:2) who stand in the house of the Lord, in the courts of the house of our God.

3(134:3) Praise ye the Lord; for the Lord is good: sing praises to his name; for it is good.

4(134:4) For the Lord has chosen Jacob for himself, and Israel for his peculiar treasure.

5(134:5) For I know that the Lord is great, and our Lord is above all gods;

6(134:6) all that the Lord willed, he did in heaven, and on the earth, in the sea, and in all deeps.

7(134:7) Who brings up clouds from he extremity of the earth: he has made lightnings for the rain: he brings winds out of his treasures.

8(134:8) Who smote the first-born of Egypt, both of man and beast.

9(134:9) He sent signs and wonders into the midst of thee, O Egypt, on Pharao, and on all his servants.

10(134:10) Who smote many nations, and slew mighty kings;

11(134:11) Seon king of the Amorites, and Og king of Basan, and all the kingdoms of Chanaan:

12(134:12) and gave their land for an inheritance, an inheritance to Israel his people.

13(134:13) O Lord, thy name endures for ever, and thy memorial to all generations.

14(134:14) For the Lord shall judge his people, and comfort himself concerning his servants.

15(134:15) The idols of the heathen are silver and gold, the works of men's hands.

16(134:16) They have a mouth, but they cannot speak; they have eyes, but they cannot see;

17(134:17) they have ears, but they cannot hear; for there is no breath in their mouth.

18(134:18) Let those who make them be made like to them; and all those who trust in them.

19(134:19) O house of Israel, bless ye the Lord: O house of Aaron, bless ye the Lord:

20(134:20) O house of Levi, bless ye the Lord: ye that fear the Lord, bless the Lord.

21(134:21) Blessed in Sion be the Lord, who dwells in Jerusalem.
