Psalm 113

¹Praise the Lord! Praise, O servants of the Lord; praise the name of the Lord.

²Blessed be the name of the Lord from this time on and forevermore.

³From the rising of the sun to its setting the name of the Lord is to be praised.

⁴The Lord is high above all nations, and his glory above the heavens.

⁵Who is like the Lord our God, who is seated on high,

⁶who looks far down on the heavens and the earth?

⁷He raises the poor from the dust, and lifts the needy from the ash heap,

⁸to make them sit with princes, with the princes of his people.

⁹He gives the barren woman a home, making her the joyous mother of children. Praise the Lord!

Psalm 114

¹When Israel went out from Egypt, the house of Jacob from a people of strange language,

²Judah became God’s sanctuary, Israel his dominion.

³The sea looked and fled; Jordan turned back.

⁴The mountains skipped like rams, the hills like lambs.

⁵Why is it, O sea, that you flee? O Jordan, that you turn back?

⁶O mountains, that you skip like rams? O hills, like lambs?

⁷Tremble, O earth, at the presence of the Lord, at the presence of the God of Jacob,

⁸who turns the rock into a pool of water, the flint into a spring of water.

Psalm 115

¹Not to us, O Lord, not to us, but to your name give glory, for the sake of your steadfast love and your faithfulness.

²Why should the nations say, “Where is their God?”

³Our God is in the heavens; he does whatever he pleases.

⁴Their idols are silver and gold, the work of human hands.

⁵They have mouths, but do not speak; eyes, but do not see.

⁶They have ears, but do not hear; noses, but do not smell.

⁷They have hands, but do not feel; feet, but do not walk; they make no sound in their throats.

⁸Those who make them are like them; so are all who trust in them.

⁹O Israel, trust in the Lord! He is their help and their shield.

¹⁰O house of Aaron, trust in the Lord! He is their help and their shield.

¹¹You who fear the Lord, trust in the Lord! He is their help and their shield.

¹²The Lord has been mindful of us; he will bless us; he will bless the house of Israel; he will bless the house of Aaron;

¹³he will bless those who fear the Lord, both small and great.

¹⁴May the Lord give you increase, both you and your children.

¹⁵May you be blessed by the Lord, who made heaven and earth.

¹⁶The heavens are the Lord’s heavens, but the earth he has given to human beings.

¹⁷The dead do not praise the Lord, nor do any that go down into silence.

¹⁸But we will bless the Lord from this time on and forevermore. Praise the Lord!

Psalm 116

¹I love the Lord, because he has heard my voice and my supplications.

²Because he inclined his ear to me, therefore I will call on him as long as I live.

³The snares of death encompassed me; the pangs of Sheol laid hold on me; I suffered distress and anguish.

⁴Then I called on the name of the Lord: “O Lord, I pray, save my life!”

¹¹I said in my consternation, “Everyone is a liar.”

¹²What shall I return to the Lord for all his bounty to me?

¹³I will lift up the cup of salvation and call on the name of the Lord,

¹⁴I will pay my vows to the Lord in the presence of all his people.

¹⁵Precious in the sight of the Lord is the death of his faithful ones.

¹⁶O Lord, I am your servant; I am your servant, the child of your serving girl. You have loosed my bonds.

¹⁷I will offer to you a thanksgiving sacrifice and call on the name of the Lord.

¹⁸I will pay my vows to the Lord in the presence of all his people,

¹⁹in the courts of the house of the Lord, in your midst, O Jerusalem. Praise the Lord!

⁵Out of my distress I called on the Lord; the Lord answered me and set me in a broad place.

⁶With the Lord on my side I do not fear. What can mortals do to me?

⁷The Lord is on my side to help me; I shall look in triumph on those who hate me.

⁸It is better to take refuge in the Lord than to put confidence in mortals.

⁹It is better to take refuge in the Lord than to put confidence in princes.

¹⁰All nations surrounded me; in the name of the Lord I cut them off!

¹¹They surrounded me, surrounded me on every side; in the name of the Lord I cut them off!

²⁹O give thanks to the Lord, for he is good, for his steadfast love endures forever.
