Psalms 135
A hymn of praise contrasting the living Lord with dead idols.
Psalm 135 calls the servants who stand "in the courts of the house of our God" to praise the LORD, declaring that He is great and "above all gods." After the brief night-watch call of Psalms 134, this chapter broadens into a full recital of God's power in creation and history.
The title of the hundrid and fyue and thrittithe salm. Alleluya. Knouleche ye to the Lord, for he is good, for his merci is withouten ende.
Knouleche ye to the God of goddis.
Knouleche ye to the Lord of lordis.
Which aloone makith grete merueils.

Which made stidefast erthe on watris.

The moone and sterris in to the power of the niyt.

Which ledde out Israel fro the myddil of hem.
In a miyti hond and in an hiy arm.
Whiche departide the reed see in to departyngis.
And ledde out Israel thoruy the myddil therof.
And he `caste a down Farao and his pouer in the reed see.

Knouleche ye to the Lord of lordis; for his merci is with outen ende.
