Psalm
113
1: Praise ye the LORD. Praise, O ye servants
of the LORD, praise the name of the LORD.
2: Blessed be the name of
the LORD from this time forth and for evermore.
3: From the rising of
the sun unto the going down of the same the LORD's name is to be praised.
4: The LORD is high above all nations, and his glory above the
heavens.
5: Who is like unto the LORD our God, who dwelleth on high,
6: Who humbleth himself to behold the things that are in heaven, and
in the earth!
7: He raiseth up the poor out of the dust, and lifteth
the needy out of the dunghill;
8: That he may set him with princes,
even with the princes of his people.
9: He maketh the barren woman to
keep house, and to be a joyful mother of children. Praise ye the LORD.
Psalm 114
1: When Israel went out of Egypt, the house
of Jacob from a people of strange language;
2: Judah was his
sanctuary, and Israel his dominion.
3: The sea saw it, and fled:
Jordan was driven back.
4: The mountains skipped like rams, and the
little hills like lambs.
5: What ailed thee, O thou sea, that thou
fleddest? thou Jordan, that thou wast driven back?
6: Ye mountains,
that ye skipped like rams; and ye little hills, like lambs?
7:
Tremble, thou earth, at the presence of the Lord, at the presence of the
God of Jacob;
8: Which turned the rock into a standing water, the
flint into a fountain of waters.
Psalm 115
1: Not unto us, O LORD, not unto us, but unto
thy name give glory, for thy mercy, and for thy truth's sake.
2:
Wherefore should the heathen say, Where is now their God?
3: But our
God is in the heavens: he hath done whatsoever he hath pleased.
4:
Their idols are silver and gold, the work of men's hands.
5: They have
mouths, but they speak not: eyes have they, but they see not:
6: They
have ears, but they hear not: noses have they, but they smell not:
7:
They have hands, but they handle not: feet have they, but they walk not:
neither speak they through their throat.
8: They that make them are
like unto them; so is every one that trusteth in them.
9: O Israel,
trust thou in the LORD: he is their help and their shield.
10: O house
of Aaron, trust in the LORD: he is their help and their shield.
11: Ye
that fear the LORD, trust in the LORD: he is their help and their shield.
12: The LORD hath been mindful of us: he will bless us; he will bless
the house of Israel; he will bless the house of
Aaron.
13: He will
bless them that fear the LORD, both small and great.
14: The LORD
shall increase you more and more, you and your children.
15: Ye are
blessed of the LORD which made heaven and earth.
16: The heaven, even
the heavens, are the LORD's: but the earth hath he given to the children
of men.
17: The dead praise not the LORD, neither any that go down
into silence.
18: But we will bless the LORD from this time forth and
for evermore. Praise the LORD.
