PSALM CXXXV.

1 PRAISE ye the LORD. Praise ye the name of the LORD; praise him, O ye | servants

of the LORD.

2 Ye 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 unto his name; for | it ∙ is |

pleasant.

4 For the LORD hath chosen Jacob unto him

self, and Israel for | his pe- | -cu- · -liar | treasure.

5 For I know that the LORD is great, and that our LORD is a- |-bove all gods.

6 Whatsover the LORD pleased, that did he in heaven, and in earth, in the seas, and | all deep- | places.

7 He causeth the vapours to ascend from the ends of the earth; he maketh lightnings

for the rain; he bringeth the wind | out

8 Who smote the first-born of Egypt, both of | man | and— | beast:

9 Who sent tokens and wonders into the midst of thee, O Egypt, upon Pharaoh, and upon | all his servants.

10 Who smote great nations, and | slew — | mighty kings;

11 Sihon king of the Amorites, and Og king of Bashan, and all the kingdoms of Ca

naan:

12 And gave their land for an heritage, an heritage unto | Is-· -rael | his — | people.

13 Thy name, O LORD, endureth for ever; and thy memorial, O LORD, throughout all

gene--rations. 14 For the LORD will judge his people, and he will repent himself con- |-cern--ing | his | servants.

15 The idols of the heathen are silver and gold, work of men's hands.

the 16 They have mouths, but they speak not; eyes have they, but they see —

not.

17 They have ears, but they hear not; neither is there any breath in their mouths. 18 They that make them are like unto them: so is 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;

21 Ye that fear the LORD, | bless the LORD. 22 Blessed be the LORD out of Zion, which dwelleth at Jerusalem. Praise |

the LORD.

PSALM CXXXVIII.

1 I WILL praise thee with my whole heart: before the gods will I sing praise unto |

thee.

2 I will worship toward thy holy temple, and praise thy name for thy loving-kindness and for thy truth: for thou hast magnified thy word a- | -bove · all | thy - | name. 3 In the day when I cried thou answeredst me, and strengthenedst me, with | strength in my soul.

4 All the kings of the earth shall praise thee, O LORD, when they hear the | words · of | thy | mouth.

5 Yea, they shall sing in the ways of the LORD: for great is the glory of the |

LORD.

6 Though the LORD be high, yet hath he respect unto the lowly: but the proud he | know--eth a- |-far-off.

7 Though I walk in the midst of trouble, thou | wilt re- · |-vive me:

8 Thou shalt stretch forth thine hand against the wrath of mine enemies, and thy | right hand shall | save

| me.

9 The LORD will perfect that which con- | -cern- -eth me:

10 Thy mercy, O LORD, endureth for ever: forsake not the works of thine hands.
