135.20
- 2It is like the precious oil upon the head,
- Coming down upon the beard;
- Even Aaron's beard,
- That cometh down upon the collar of his garments;
- 3Like the dew of Hermon,
- That cometh down upon the mountains of Zion;
- For there the Lord commanded the blessing,
- Even life for ever.
134 A Song of Ascents.
- Behold, bless ye the Lord, all ye servants of the Lord,
- That stand in the house of the Lord in the night seasons.
- 2Lift up your hands to the sanctuary,
- And bless ye the Lord.
- 3The Lord bless thee out of Zion;
- Even He that made heaven and earth.
- 135 Hallelujah.
- Praise ye the name of the Lord;
- Give praise, O ye servants of the Lord,
- 2Ye that stand in the house of the Lord,
- In the courts of the house of our God.
- 3Praise ye the Lord, for the Lord is good;
- Sing praises unto His name, for it is pleasant.
- 4For the Lord hath chosen Jacob unto Himself,
- And Israel for His own treasure.
- 5For I know that the Lord is great,
- And that our Lord is above all gods.
- 6Whatsoever the Lord pleased, that hath He done,
- In heaven and in earth, in the seas and in all deeps;
- 7Who causeth the vapours to ascend from the ends of the earth;
- He maketh lightnings for the rain;
- He bringeth forth the wind out of His treasuries.
- 8Who smote the first-born of Egypt,
- Both of man and beast.
- 9He sent signs and wonders into the midst of thee, O Egypt,
- Upon Pharaoh, and upon all his servants.
- 10Who smote many nations,
- And slew mighty kings:
- 11Sihon king of the Amorites,
- And Og king of Bashan,
- And all the kingdoms of Canaan;
- 12And gave their land for a heritage,
- A heritage unto Israel His people.
- 13O Lord, Thy name endureth for ever;
- Thy memorial, O Lord, throughout all generations.
- 14For the Lord will judge His people,
- And repent Himself for His servants.
- 15The idols of the nations are silver and gold,
- The work of men's hands.
- 16They have mouths, but they speak not;
- Eyes have they, but they see not;
- 17They have ears, but they hear not;
- Neither is there any breath in their mouths.
- 18They that make them shall be like unto them;
- Yea, every one that trusteth in them.
- 19O house of Israel, bless ye the Lord;
- O house of Aaron, bless ye the Lord;
- 20O house of Levi, bless ye the Lord;
