Psalm 113

1  Alleluia.
      Give praise, you servants of the Lord, ♦︎
   O 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 to its setting ♦︎
   let the name of the Lord be praised.
4  The Lord is high above all nations ♦︎
   and his glory above the heavens.
5  Who is like the Lord our God,
      that has his throne so high, ♦︎
   yet humbles himself to behold
      the things of heaven and earth?
6  He raises the poor from the dust ♦︎
   and lifts the needy from the ashes,
7  To set them with princes, ♦︎
   with the princes of his people.
8  He gives the barren woman a place in the house ♦︎
   and makes her a joyful mother of children.
      Alleluia.

Psalm 114

1  When Israel came out of Egypt, ♦︎
   the house of Jacob from a people of a strange tongue,
2  Judah became his sanctuary, ♦︎
   Israel his dominion.
3  The sea saw that, and fled; ♦︎
   Jordan was driven back.
4  The mountains skipped like rams, ♦︎
   the little hills like young sheep.
5  What ailed you, O sea, that you fled? ♦︎
   O Jordan, that you were driven back?
6  You mountains, that you skipped like rams, ♦︎
   you little hills like young sheep?
7  Tremble, O earth, at the presence of the Lord, ♦︎
   at the presence of the God of Jacob,
8  Who turns the hard rock into a pool of water, ♦︎
   the flint-stone into a springing well.
