Psalm 133 • • • page 614
I will clothe its priests with godliness;
its faithful servants will sing for joy.
17 Here I will increase the power of David;
my anointed one will be a light for
my people.
18 I will clothe his enemies with shame,
but he will be a glorious king.”

PSALM
133
A song for pilgrims ascending to Jerusalem. A psalm
of David.
How wonderful and pleasant it is
when brothers live together in harmony!
2 For harmony is as precious as the anointing
oil
that was poured over Aaron’s head,
that ran down his beard
and onto the border of his robe.
3 Harmony is as refreshing as the dew from
Mount Hermon
that falls on the mountains of Zion.
And there the Lord has pronounced his
blessing,
even life everlasting.

... Psalm 136
He causes the clouds to rise over the whole
earth.
He sends the lightning with the rain
and releases the wind from his
storehouses.
He destroyed the firstborn in each Egyptian
home,
both people and animals.
9 He performed miraculous signs and
wonders in Egypt
against Pharaoh and all his people.
10 He struck down great nations
and slaughtered mighty kings—
11 Sihon king of the Amorites,
Og king of Bashan,
and all the kings of Canaan.
12 He gave their land as an inheritance,
a special possession to his people Israel.

Your name, O Lord, endures forever;
your fame, O Lord, is known to every
generation.
14 For the Lord will give justice to his people
and have compassion on his servants.
13
The idols of the nations are merely things
of silver and gold,
shaped by human hands.
16 They have mouths but cannot speak,
and eyes but cannot see.
17 They have ears but cannot hear,
and mouths but cannot breathe.
18 And those who make idols are just like them,
as are all who trust in them.

and praise the Lord.

Praise the Lord!
Praise the name of the Lord!
Praise him, you who serve the Lord,
2 you who serve in the house of the Lord,
in the courts of the house of our God.
Praise the Lord, for the Lord is good;
celebrate his lovely name with music.
4 For the Lord has chosen Jacob for himself,
Israel for his own special treasure.
3
I know the greatness of the Lord—
that our Lord is greater than any
other god.
6 The Lord does whatever pleases him
throughout all heaven and earth,
and on the seas and in their depths.
5
O Israel, praise the Lord!
O priests—descendants of Aaron—praise
the Lord!

for he lives here in Jerusalem.

Praise the Lord!
