CHAP. CXXXV.

An exhortation to praise God for his mercy, 5 for his power, 8 for his iudgements. 15 The vanitie of Idoles. 19 An exhortation to blesse God.

1 Praise ye the Lord, Praise ye the Name of the Lord: prayse him, O ye seruants of the Lord.

2 Yee that stand in the House of the Lord: in the courts of the house of our God.

3 Praise the Lord, for the Lord is good: sing praises vnto his Name, for it is pleasant.

4 For the Lord hath chosen Iacob vnto himselfe: and Israel for his peculiar treasure.

5 For I know that the Lord is great: and that our Lord is aboue all gods.

6 Whatsoeuer the Lord pleased, that did he in heauen and in earth: in the Seas, and all deepe places.

8 Who smote the first borne of Egypt: both of man and beast.8

9 Who sent tokens and woonders into the midst of thee, O Egypt: vpon Pharaoh, and vpon all his seruants.

10 Who smote great nations: and slew mightie kings:10

11 Sihon king of the Amorites, and Og king of Bashan: and all the kingdomes of Canaan,

12 And gaue their land for an heritage: an heritage vnto Israel his people.12

13 Thy Name, O Lord, endureth for euer: and thy memoriall, O Lord, throughout all generations.13

14 For the Lord will iudge his people: and he will repent himselfe concerning his seruants.

15 The idoles of the heathen are siluer and golde: the worke of mens hands.15

16 They haue mouthes, but they speake not: eyes haue they, but they see not:

17 They haue eares, but they heare not: neither is there any breath in their mouthes.
