Psalm 135

Masoretic — Psalm 136

Alleluia.

Give thanks to the Lord, for He is good,

For His mercy endures forever;

Give thanks to the God of gods,

For His mercy endures forever;

Give thanks to the Lord of lords,

For His mercy endures forever;

To Him who alone does great wonders,

For His mercy endures forever;

To Him who made the heavens with understanding,

For His mercy endures forever;

To Him who made firm the earth on the waters,

For His mercy endures forever;

To Him who alone made the great lights,

For His mercy endures forever,

The sun for authority over the day,

For His mercy endures forever,

The moon and stars for authority over the night,

For His mercy endures forever;

To Him who struck down Egypt with their firstborn,

For His mercy endures forever;

To Him who led Israel out of their midst,

For His mercy endures forever,

With a strong hand and an upraised arm,

For His mercy endures forever;

To Him who divided the Red Sea into parts,

For His mercy endures forever,

And led Israel through the midst of it,

For His mercy endures forever,

And who overthrew Pharaoh and all his host in the Red Sea,

For His mercy endures forever;

To Him who led His people through the wilderness,

For His mercy endures forever;

To Him who drew water from the hard rock,

For His mercy endures forever;

To Him who struck down great kings,

For His mercy endures forever,

And killed mighty kings,

For His mercy endures forever,

Sihon king of the Amorites,

For His mercy endures forever,

And Og king of Bashan,

For His mercy endures forever,

And who gave their land as an inheritance,

For His mercy endures forever,

An inheritance for Israel His servant,

For His mercy endures forever.

For in our humiliation the Lord remembered us,

For His mercy endures forever;

And He redeemed us from our enemies,

For His mercy endures forever;

Who gave food to all flesh,

For His mercy endures forever.

Give thanks to the God of heaven,

For His mercy endures forever;

Give thanks to the Lord of lords,

For His mercy endures forever.
