Psalm 135:1-21 Book# 5 of Psalms [in Smaller Chunks] |
Praise you the Lord. Praise you the Name of the Lord. Praise Him, O you servants of the Lord. You, [who] stand in the [Lord's] house & in the [courtyards] of the house of our God. [Psalm 116:19 O Jerusalem, praise you the Lord in the [courtyards] of the Lord's house, in the midst of you.] |
Praise the Lord; for the Lord is good. Sing praises to His Name, for it is pleasant. For the Lord has chosen Jacob, [a.k.a. Israel,] unto Himself & Israel for His [special] treasure. |
[Malachi 3:17 And they shall be Mine, says the Lord of Hosts, [on] that day when I make up My Jewels. And I will spare them, [like] a man spares his own son, [who] serves him.] |
For I know that the Lord is great & that our Lord is above all gods. [Mark 12:32-34 And the scribe said to Him, You have said the Truth well, [Teacher:] for there is one God & there is [no] other, but He. |
And to love Him with all [your] heart, all understanding, with all [your] soul & with all [your] strength & love his neighbor as himself, is more [important,] than all [the] whole burnt offerings & sacrifices. |
And when Jesus saw that he answered [wisely,] He said to him, You aren't far from the kingdom of God. And no man [dared] ask Him any question after that.] |
[Whatever] pleased the Lord, He did that in heaven & [on] earth, in the seas & all the deep places. He causes [evaporation] to [go up] from the ends of the earth. He makes lightning for the rain & He brings the wind out of His [treasures.] |
[Job 38:25-27 Who has divided [a spillway] for the overflowing waters, or a way for [thunder's] lightning: to cause it to rain on the earth, where no man is & on the wilderness, [in which] there is no man; to satisfy the desolate & [barren] ground & to cause the bud of the tender herb to spring [out?] |
Who [struck] the firstborn of Egypt, of both man & [animal?] Who sent [signs] & wonders into the midst of you, O Egypt, upon Pharoah & upon all his servants. [Psalm 105:26-39 He sent Moses, His servant & Aaron, whom He had chosen. They [showed] His signs & wonders among them in the land of Ham. |
He sent darkness & made it dark & they didn't rebel against His Word. He turned their waters into blood & [killed] the fish.Their land brought forth [an] abundance of frogs, in the [rooms] of their kings. He [spoke] & [various] sorts of flies & lice came in all their coasts. |
He gave them hail for rain & flaming fire in their land. He [struck] their vines & also their fig trees & [broke] the trees of their coasts. He [spoke] & [numerous] locusts & caterpillars came without number. And [they] ate up all the [vegetation] in their land & devoured the fruit of their ground. |
He also [struck] the firstborn in their land, the chief of all their strength. He brought [the Israelites] out, also with silver & gold. And there wasn't 1 feeble person among their tribes. Egypt was glad when they departed: for the fear of the [Israelites] fell upon them. He spread a cloud for a covering & fire to give light in the night.] |
Who [defeated] great nations & [killed] mighty kings; Sihon, the [Amorites'] king, Og, [Bashan's] king & all the kingdoms of Canaan. [Joshua 24:11-13 And you went over [the] Jordan [River] & came to Jericho. And the men of Jericho fought against you, the: Amorites, Perizzites, Canaanites, Hittites, Girgashites, Hivites & the Jebusites & I delivered them into your hand. |
And I sent the hornet before you [came,] which [drove] them out from before you, even the 2 kings of the Amorites; but not with your sword, nor your bow. And I have given you a land for which you didn't labor & cities [that] you [didn't build] & you [live] in them & you eat of the vineyard & [olive groves that] you [didn't plant.] |
And gave their land for an [inheritance,] a heritage to Israel, His people. Your Name & [memory of You,] O Lord, endures forever, throughout all generations. For the Lord will judge His people & He will [withdraw] Himself, [related] to His servants. |
[Deuteronomy 32:36-38 For the Lord shall judge His people & [withdraw] Himself for His servants, when He sees that their power is gone & there is none shut up, or left. And He shall say, Where are their gods, their rock in whom they trusted, [that] ate the fat of their sacrifices & drank the wine of their drink offerings? Let them rise up & help you & be your protection.] |
The idols of the heathen are silver & gold, the work of men's hands. They have mouths, but they [don't] speak. They have eyes, but they [don't] see. They have ears, but they [don't] hear. Neither is there any breath in their mouths. [Those who] make them are [similar] to them. So is everyone [who] trusts in them. |
Bless the Lord, O house of Israel. Bless the Lord, O house of Aaron. Bless the Lord, O house of Levi. You, [who] fear [respect] the Lord, bless the Lord. Blessed be the Lord out of Zion, [Who] dwells [in] Jerusalem. Praise you the Lord. |
