Psalms 135
Bishops' Bible
1Prayse ye the Lorde, prayse ye the name of God: prayse it ye seruauntes of God.
2Ye that stande in the house of God: in the courtes of the house of our Lord,
3Prayse ye the Lorde, for God is gratious: sing psalmes vnto his name, for it is pleasaunt.
4For the Lorde hath chosen Iacob vnto hym selfe: and Israel for his owne possession.
5For I knowe that God is great: and that our Lorde is aboue all gods.
6God doth whatsoeuer pleaseth hym in heauen and in earth: in the sea, and in all deepe places.
7He causeth cloudes to ascende from the lowest part of the earth: he maketh it to lighten when it rayneth, he bringeth wyndes out of his treasure houses.
8He smote the first borne of Egypt: aswell of beast as of man.
9He sent tokens and wonders into the mydst of thee O Egypt: against Pharao and all his seruauntes.
10He smote many nations: and slue mightie kinges.
11Sihon king of the Amorites, and Og the king of Bashan: and all the kingdomes of Chanaan.
12And he gaue their lande for an inheritaunce: euen for an heritaunce to Israel his people.
13Thy name O God endureth for euer: there wil be a remembraunce of thee O God, from one generation to another.
14For God wyll iudge his people: and he will be pacified beyng displeased with his seruauntes.
15As for the idols of the Heathen they are but siluer and golde: the worke of mens handes.
16They haue a mouth and speake not: they haue eyes but they see not.
17They haue eares and they heare not: yea there is no breath in their mouth.
18They that make them are lyke vnto them: and euery one that putteth his trust in them.
19Blesse God ye the house of Israel: blesse God ye the house of Aaron.
20Blesse God ye the house of Leui: ye that feare God, blesse God.
21Blessed be God out of Sion: who dwelleth at Hierusalem. Prayse ye the Lorde.
