Your Name Endures Forever (2 Chronicles 7:1-3; Psalm 136:1-26) 1{134:1}Alleluia. Praise ye the name of the Lord: O you his servants, praise the Lord: 2{134:2}You that stand in the house of the Lord, in the courts of the house of our God. 3{134:3}Praise ye the Lord, for the Lord is good: sing ye to his name, for it is sweet. 4{134:4}For the Lord hath chosen Jacob unto himself: Israel for his own possession. 5{134:5}For I have known that the Lord is great, and our God is above all gods. 6{134:6}Whatsoever the Lord pleased he hath done, in heaven, in earth, in the sea, and in all the deeps. 7{134:7}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{134:8}He slew the firstborn of Egypt from man even unto beast. 9{134:9}He sent forth signs and wonders in the midst of thee, O Egypt: upon Pharao, and upon all his servants. 10{134:10}He smote many nations, and slew mighty kings: 11{134:11}Sehon king of the Amorrhites, and Og king of Basan, and all the kingdoms of Chanaan. 12{134:12}And gave their land for an inheritance, for an inheritance to his people Israel. 13{134:13}Thy name, O Lord, is for ever: thy memorial, O Lord, unto all generations. 14{134:14}For the Lord will judge his people, and will be entreated in favour of his servants. 15{134:15}The idols of the Gentiles are silver and gold, the works of men's hands. 16{134:16}They have a mouth, but they speak not: they have eyes, but they see not. 17{134:17}They have ears, but they hear not: neither is there any breath in their mouths. 18{134:18}Let them that make them be like to them: and every one that trusteth in them. 19{134:19}Bless the Lord, O house of Israel: bless the Lord, O house of Aaron. 20{134:20}Bless the Lord, O house of Levi: you that fear the Lord, bless the Lord. 21{134:21}Blessed be the Lord out of Sion, who dwelleth in Jerusalem.
