Psalms 134-138
Skip Heitzig
Psalms 134 (NKJV™) | |
1 | A Song of Ascents. Behold, bless the LORD, All you servants of the LORD, Who by night stand in the house of the LORD! |
2 | Lift up your hands in the sanctuary, And bless the LORD. |
3 | The LORD who made heaven and earth Bless you from Zion! |
Psalms 135 (NKJV™) | |
1 | Praise the LORD! Praise the name of the LORD; Praise Him, O you servants of the LORD! |
2 | You who 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 to His name, for it is pleasant. |
4 | For the LORD has chosen Jacob for Himself, Israel for His special treasure. |
5 | For I know that the LORD is great, And our Lord is above all gods. |
6 | Whatever the LORD pleases He does, In heaven and in earth, In the seas and in all deep places. |
7 | He causes the vapors to ascend from the ends of the earth; He makes lightning for the rain; He brings the wind out of His treasuries. |
8 | He destroyed the firstborn of Egypt, Both of man and beast. |
9 | He sent signs and wonders into the midst of you, O Egypt, Upon Pharaoh and all his servants. |
10 | He defeated many nations And slew mighty kings-- |
11 | Sihon king of the Amorites, Og king of Bashan, And all the kingdoms of Canaan-- |
12 | And gave their land as a heritage, A heritage to Israel His people. |
13 | Your name, O LORD, endures forever, Your fame, O LORD, throughout all generations. |
14 | For the LORD will judge His people, And He will have compassion on His servants. |
15 | The idols of the nations are silver and gold, The work of men's hands. |
16 | They have mouths, but they do not speak; Eyes they have, but they do not see; |
17 | They have ears, but they do not hear; Nor is there any breath in their mouths. |
18 | Those who make them are like them; So is everyone who trusts 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 who fear the LORD, bless the LORD! |
21 | Blessed be the LORD out of Zion, Who dwells in Jerusalem! Praise the LORD! |
Psalms 136 (NKJV™) | |
1 | Oh, give thanks to the LORD, for He is good! For His mercy endures forever. |
2 | Oh, give thanks to the God of gods! For His mercy endures forever. |
3 | Oh, give thanks to the Lord of lords! For His mercy endures forever: |
4 | To Him who alone does great wonders, For His mercy endures forever; |
5 | To Him who by wisdom made the heavens, For His mercy endures forever; |
6 | To Him who laid out the earth above the waters, For His mercy endures forever; |
7 | To Him who made great lights, For His mercy endures forever-- |
8 | The sun to rule by day, For His mercy endures forever; |
9 | The moon and stars to rule by night, For His mercy endures forever. |
10 | To Him who struck Egypt in their firstborn, For His mercy endures forever; |
11 | And brought out Israel from among them, For His mercy endures forever; |
12 | With a strong hand, and with an outstretched arm, For His mercy endures forever; |
13 | To Him who divided the Red Sea in two, For His mercy endures forever; |
14 | And made Israel pass through the midst of it, For His mercy endures forever; |
15 | But overthrew Pharaoh and his army in the Red Sea, For His mercy endures forever; |
16 | To Him who led His people through the wilderness, For His mercy endures forever; |
17 | To Him who struck down great kings, For His mercy endures forever; |
18 | And slew famous kings, For His mercy endures forever-- |
19 | Sihon king of the Amorites, For His mercy endures forever; |
20 | And Og king of Bashan, For His mercy endures forever-- |
21 | And gave their land as a heritage, For His mercy endures forever; |
22 | A heritage to Israel His servant, For His mercy endures forever. |
23 | Who remembered us in our lowly state, For His mercy endures forever; |
24 | And rescued us from our enemies, For His mercy endures forever; |
25 | Who gives food to all flesh, For His mercy endures forever. |
26 | Oh, give thanks to the God of heaven! For His mercy endures forever. |
Psalms 137 (NKJV™) | |
1 | By the rivers of Babylon, There we sat down, yea, we wept When we remembered Zion. |
2 | We hung our harps Upon the willows in the midst of it. |
3 | For there those who carried us away captive asked of us a song, And those who plundered us requested mirth, Saying, "Sing us one of the songs of Zion!" |
4 | How shall we sing the LORD'S song In a foreign land? |
5 | If I forget you, O Jerusalem, Let my right hand forget its skill! |
6 | If I do not remember you, Let my tongue cling to the roof of my mouth--If I do not exalt Jerusalem Above my chief joy. |
7 | Remember, O LORD, against the sons of Edom The day of Jerusalem, Who said, "Raze it, raze it, To its very foundation!" |
8 | O daughter of Babylon, who are to be destroyed, Happy the one who repays you as you have served us! |
9 | Happy the one who takes and dashes Your little ones against the rock! |
Psalms 138 (NKJV™) | |
1 | A Psalm of David. I will praise You with my whole heart; Before the gods I will sing praises to You. |
2 | I will worship toward Your holy temple, And praise Your name For Your lovingkindness and Your truth; For You have magnified Your word above all Your name. |
3 | In the day when I cried out, You answered me, And made me bold with strength in my soul. |
4 | All the kings of the earth shall praise You, O LORD, When they hear the words of Your mouth. |
5 | Yes, they shall sing of the ways of the LORD, For great is the glory of the LORD. |
6 | Though the LORD is on high, Yet He regards the lowly; But the proud He knows from afar. |
7 | Though I walk in the midst of trouble, You will revive me; You will stretch out Your hand Against the wrath of my enemies, And Your right hand will save me. |
8 | The LORD will perfect that which concerns me; Your mercy, O LORD, endures forever; Do not forsake the works of Your hands. |
