Psalm 135

¹Praise ye the Lord. Praise ye the name of the Lord; praise him, 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 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 peculiar treasure.
⁵For I know that the Lord is great, and that our Lord is above all gods.
⁶Whatsoever the Lord pleased, that did he in heaven, and in earth, in the seas, and all deep places.
⁷He causeth the vapours to ascend from the ends of the earth; he maketh lightnings for the rain; he bringeth the wind out of his treasuries.
⁸Who smote the firstborn of Egypt, both of man and beast.
⁹Who sent tokens and wonders into the midst of thee, O Egypt, upon Pharaoh, and upon all his servants.
¹⁰Who smote great 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 an heritage, an heritage unto Israel his people.
¹³Thy name, O Lord, endureth for ever; and thy memorial, O Lord, throughout all generations.
¹⁴For the Lord will judge his people, and he will repent himself concerning his servants.
¹⁵The idols of the heathen 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 are like unto them: so is every one that trusteth in them.
¹⁹Bless the Lord, O house of Israel: bless the Lord, O house of Aaron:
²⁰Bless the Lord, O house of Levi: ye that fear the Lord, bless the Lord.
²¹Blessed be the Lord out of Zion, which dwelleth at Jerusalem. Praise ye the Lord.

¹⁸Yea, I hated all my labour which I had taken under the sun: because I should leave it unto the man that shall be after me.
¹⁹And who knoweth whether he shall be a wise man or a fool? yet shall he have rule over all my labour wherein I have laboured, and wherein I have shewed myself wise under the sun. This is also vanity.
²⁰Therefore I went about to cause my heart to despair of all the labour which I took under the sun.
²¹For there is a man whose labour is in wisdom, and in knowledge, and in equity; yet to a man that hath not laboured therein shall he leave it for his portion. This also is vanity and a great evil.
²²For what hath man of all his labour, and of the vexation of his heart, wherein he hath laboured under the sun?
²³For all his days are sorrows, and his travail grief; yea, his heart taketh not rest in the night. This is also vanity.
²⁴There is nothing better for a man, than that he should eat and drink, and that he should make his soul enjoy good in his labour. This also I saw, that it was from the hand of God.
²⁵For who can eat, or who else can hasten hereunto, more than I?
²⁶For God giveth to a man that is good in his sight wisdom, and knowledge, and joy: but to the sinner he giveth travail, to gather and to heap up, that he may give to him that is good before God. This also is vanity and vexation of spirit.

¹⁷And Jesus going up to Jerusalem took the twelve disciples apart in the way, and said unto them,
¹⁸Behold, we go up to Jerusalem; and the Son of man shall be betrayed unto the chief priests and unto the scribes, and they shall condemn him to death,
¹⁹And shall deliver him to the Gentiles to mock, and to scourge, and to crucify him: and the third day he shall rise again.
²⁰Then came to him the mother of Zebedees children with her sons, worshipping him, and desiring a certain thing of him.
²¹And he said unto her, What wilt thou? She saith unto him, Grant that these my two sons may sit, the one on thy right hand, and the other on the left, in thy kingdom.
²²But Jesus answered and said, Ye know not what ye ask. Are ye able to drink of the cup that I shall drink of, and to be baptized with the baptism that I am baptized with? They say unto him, We are able.
²³And he saith unto them, Ye shall drink indeed of my cup, and be baptized with the baptism that I am baptized with: but to sit on my right hand, and on my left, is not mine to give, but it shall be given to them for whom it is prepared of my Father.
²⁴And when the ten heard it, they were moved with indignation against the two brethren.
²⁵But Jesus called them unto him, and said, Ye know that the princes of the Gentiles exercise dominion over them, and they that are great exercise authority upon them.
²⁶But it shall not be so among you: but whosoever will be great among you, let him be your minister;
²⁷And whosoever will be chief among you, let him be your servant:
²⁸Even as the Son of man came not to be ministered unto, but to minister, and to give his life a ransom for many.
²⁹And as they departed from Jericho, a great multitude followed him.
³⁰And, behold, two blind men sitting by the way side, when they heard that Jesus passed by, cried out, saying, Have mercy on us, O Lord, thou son of David.
³¹And the multitude rebuked them, because they should hold their peace: but they cried the more, saying, Have mercy on us, O Lord, thou son of David.
³²And Jesus stood still, and called them, and said, What will ye that I shall do unto you?
³³They say unto him, Lord, that our eyes may be opened.
³⁴So Jesus had compassion on them, and touched their eyes: and immediately their eyes received sight, and they followed him.
