Psalms 136

NEW JERUSALEM	DOUAI-RHEIMS
1 Al eluia! Give thanks to Yahweh for he is good, for his faithful love endures for ever.	1 Praise ye the name of the Lord: O you his servants, praise the Lord:
2 Give thanks to the God of gods, for his faithful love endures for ever.	2 You that stand in the house of the Lord, in the courts of the house of our God.
3 Give thanks to the Lord of lords, for his faithful love endures for ever.	3 Praise ye the Lord, for the Lord is good: sing ye to his name, for it is sweet.
4 He alone works wonders, for his faithful love endures for ever.	4 For the Lord hath chosen Jacob unto himself: Israel for his own possession.
5 In wisdom he made the heavens, for his faithful love endures for ever.	5 For I have known that the Lord is great, and our God is above all gods.
6 He set the earth firm on the waters, for his faithful love endures for ever.	6 Whatsoever the Lord hath pleased he hath done, in heaven, in earth, in the sea, and in all the deeps.
7 He made the great lights, for his faithful love endures for ever.	7 He bringeth up clouds from the end of the earth: he hath made lightnings for the rain. He bringeth forth winds out of his stores:
8 The sun to rule the day, for his faithful love endures for ever.	8 He slew the firstborn of Egypt from man even unto beast.
9 Moon and stars to rule the night, for his faithful love endures for ever.	9 He sent forth signs and wonders in the midst of thee, O Egypt: upon Pharao, and upon all his servants.
10 He struck down the first-born of Egypt, for his faithful love endures for ever.	10 He smote many nations, and slew mighty kings:
11 He brought Israel out from among them, for his faithful love endures for ever.	11 Sehon king of the Amorrhites, and Og king of Basan, and all the kingdoms of Chanaan.
12 With mighty hand and outstretched arm, for his faithful love endures for ever.	12 And gave their land for an inheritance, for an inheritance to his people Israel.
13 He split the Sea of Reeds in two, for his faithful love endures for ever.	13 Thy name, O Lord, is for ever: thy memorial, O Lord, unto all generations.
14 Let Israel pass through the middle, for his faithful love endures for ever.	14 For the Lord will judge his people, and will be entreated in favour of his servants.
15 And drowned Pharaoh and al his army, for his faithful love endures for ever.	15 The idols of the Gentiles are silver and gold, the works of men's hands.
16 He led his people through the desert, for his faithful love endures for ever.	16 They have a mouth, but they speak not: they have eyes, but they see not.
17 He struck down mighty kings, for his faithful love endures for ever.	17 They have ears, but they hear not: neither is there any breath in their mouths.
18 Slaughtered famous kings, for his faithful love endures for ever.	18 Let them that make them be like to them: and every one that trusteth in them.
19 Sihon king of the Amorites, for his faithful love endures for ever.	19 Bless the Lord, O house of Israel: bless the Lord, O house of Aaron.
20 And Og king of Bashan, for his faithful love endures for ever.	20 Bless the Lord, O house of Levi: you that fear the Lord, bless the Lord.
21 He gave their land as a birthright, for his faithful love endures for ever.	21 Blessed be the Lord out of Sion, who dwelleth in Jerusalem.
22 A birthright to his servant Israel, for his faithful love endures for ever.
23 He kept us in mind when we were humbled, for his faithful love endures for ever.
24 And rescued us from our enemies, for his faithful love endures for ever.
25 He provides food for al living creatures, for his faithful love endures for ever.
26 Give thanks to the God of heaven, for his faithful love endures for ever.
