Psalm 134

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

134 Praise ye the name of the Lord: O you his servants, praise the Lord:

² You that stand in the house of the Lord, in the courts of the house of our God.

³ Praise ye the Lord, for the Lord is good: sing ye to his name, for it is sweet.

⁴ For the Lord hath chosen Jacob unto himself: Israel for his own possession.

⁵ For I have known that the Lord is great, and our God is above all gods.

⁶ Whatsoever the Lord hath pleased he hath done, in heaven, in earth, in the sea, and in all the deeps.

⁷ He bringeth up clouds from the end of the earth: he hath made lightnings for the rain. He bringeth forth winds out of his stores:

⁸ He slew the firstborn of Egypt from man even unto beast.

⁹ He sent forth signs and wonders in the midst of thee, O Egypt: upon Pharao, and upon all his servants.

¹⁰ He smote many nations, and slew mighty kings:

¹¹ Sehon king of the Amorrhites, and Og king of Basan, and all the kingdoms of Chanaan.

¹² And gave their land for an inheritance, for an inheritance to his people Israel.

¹³ Thy name, O Lord, is for ever: thy memorial, O Lord, unto all generations.

¹⁴ For the Lord will judge his people, and will be entreated in favour of his servants.

¹⁵ The idols of the Gentiles are silver and gold, the works of men's hands.

¹⁶ They have a mouth, but they speak not: they have eyes, but they see not.

¹⁷ They have ears, but they hear not: neither is there any breath in their mouths.

¹⁸ Let them that make them be like to them: and every one that trusteth in them.

¹⁹ Bless the Lord, O house of Israel: bless the Lord, O house of Aaron.

²⁰ Bless the Lord, O house of Levi: you that fear the Lord, bless the Lord.

²¹ Blessed be the Lord out of Sion, who dwelleth in Jerusalem.
