Psalm 134 — The Holy Bible

Alleluia.

Praise the name of the Lord,

O you servants; praise the Lord,

You who stand in the house of the Lord,

In the courts of the house of our God.

Praise the Lord, for the Lord is good;

Sing to His name, for it is good;

For the Lord chose Jacob for Himself,

Israel for His special treasure.

For I know the Lord is great,

And our Lord is above all the gods.

All things whatsoever the Lord willed, He did,

In heaven and on the earth,

In the seas and in all deep places,

Bringing clouds from the furthest part of the earth;

He made lightning for the rain,

Bringing winds from His storehouses.

He struck the firstborn of Egypt,

From man to cattle;

He sent forth signs and wonders in your midst, O Egypt,

Among Pharaoh and all his servants.

He struck many nations

And destroyed mighty kings,

Sihon king of the Amorites,

And Og king of Bashan,

And all the kingdoms of Canaan;

And He gave their land as an inheritance,

An inheritance for Israel His people.

O Lord, Your name abides forever,

O Lord, Your memorial unto generation and generation.

For the Lord will judge His people,

And He shall comfort His servants.

The idols of the nations are silver and gold,

The works of men's hands;

They have a mouth, but they shall not speak;

They have eyes, but they shall not see;

They have ears, but they shall not hear;

They have noses, but they shall not smell;

They have hands, but they shall not feel;

They have feet, but they shall not walk;

They have no sound in their throat;

For neither is there breath in their mouth.

May those who made them become like them,

And all who trust in them.

O house of Israel, bless the Lord;

O house of Aaron, bless the Lord;

O house of Levi, bless the Lord;

You who fear the Lord, bless the Lord.

Blessed be the Lord out of Zion,

He who dwells in Jerusalem.
