Psalm
135 Prayed
Praising the Lord for saving us
Praise
the Lord.
Praise
the name of the Lord Jesus;
praise
him, you servants of the Lord,
you
who minister in the house of the Lord
in
the courts of the house of our God.
Praise the
Lord, for the Lord Jesus is good;
sing
praise to his name, for that is pleasant.
For
the Lord has chosen Israel to be his own;
the
Church to be his treasured possession.
I know
that you are great, O Lord,
that
our Lord is greater than all gods.
You do
whatever pleases you,
in
the heavens and on the earth,
in
the seas and all their depths.
You
make clouds rise from the ends of the earth;
you
send lightning with the rain
and
bring out the wind from your
storehouses.
To
redeem your people in the Old Testament, O
Lord,
you
struck down the firstborn of Egypt,
the
firstborn of men and animals.
You
sent your signs and wonders into the midst of
Egypt,
against
Pharaoh and all his servants.
You
struck down many nations
and
killed mighty kings—
Sihon
king of the Amorites,
Og
king of Bashan
and
all the kings of Canaan —
and
you gave their land as an inheritance,
an
inheritance to your people Israel.
To
redeem your people in the New Testament, O
Lord,
you
disarmed the spiritual powers and
authorities,
you made a public spectacle of them,
triumphing
over them by the cross.
Now you are the faithful
witness,
the
firstborn from the dead,
and
the ruler of the kings of the earth.
You love us and have freed us
from our sins by
your
blood,
you
have made us to be a kingdom and priests
to serve our God and Father,
to
him be glory and power for ever and ever!
In your great mercy you have
given us new birth
into
a living hope through your resurrection
from
the dead,
and
into an inheritance that can never perish,
spoil
or fade—
kept
in heaven for us.
Your
name, O Lord, endures forever,
your
renown, O Lord, through all
generations.
For
you have vindicated your people
and
you have had compassion on your
servants.
The
idols of the nations are silver and gold,
made
by the hands of men.
They
have mouths, but cannot speak,
eyes,
but they cannot see;
they
have ears, but cannot hear,
nor
is there breath in their mouths.
Those
who make them will be like them,
and
so will all who trust in them.
And what agreement is there
between
your temple, O God, and idols?
For we are your temple, O living God.
As
you have said:
“I
will live with them and walk among them,
and
I will be their God,
and
they will be my people.”
O
house of Israel, praise the Lord Jesus;
O
house of Aaron, praise the Lord Jesus;
O
house of Levi, praise the Lord Jesus;
you
who fear him, praise the Lord Jesus.
O
Church of Christ, praise the Lord Jesus;
O
Church of Jesus, praise the Lord Jesus;
O
Church of God, praise the Lord Jesus;
you
who love him, praise the Lord Jesus.
Praise be to you, Lord, in the heavenly Zion,
to
you who dwells in the Jerusalem that is
above.
21b Praise
the LORD.
