Psalms 113

1 Hallelujah! You servants of the LORD, praise him. Praise the name of the LORD.
2 Thank the name of the LORD now and forever.
3 From where the sun rises to where the sun sets, the name of the LORD should be praised.
4 The LORD is high above all the nations. His glory is above the heavens.
5 Who is like the LORD our God? He is seated on his high throne.
6 He bends down to look at heaven and earth.
7 He lifts the poor from the dust. He lifts the needy from a garbage heap.
8 He seats them with influential people, with the influential leaders of his people.
9 He makes a woman who is in a childless home a joyful mother. Hallelujah!

Psalms 114

1 When Israel left Egypt, when Jacob's family left people who spoke a foreign language,
2 Judah became his holy place and Israel became his kingdom.
3 The Red Sea looked at this and ran away. The Jordan River turned back.
4 The mountains jumped like rams. The hills jumped like lambs.
5 Red Sea, why did you run away? Jordan River, what made you turn back?
6 Mountains, what made you jump like rams? Hills, what made you jump like lambs?
7 Earth, tremble in the presence of the Lord, in the presence of the God of Jacob.
8 He turns a rock into a pool filled with water and turns flint into a spring flowing with water.

Psalms 115

1 Don't give glory to us, O LORD. Don't give glory to us. Instead, give glory to your name because of your mercy and faithfulness.
2 Why should other nations say, "Where is their God?"
3 Our God is in heaven. He does whatever he wants.
4 Their idols are made of silver and gold. They were made by human hands.
5 They have mouths, but they cannot speak. They have eyes, but they cannot see.
6 They have ears, but they cannot hear. They have noses, but they cannot smell.
7 They have hands, but they cannot feel. They have feet, but they cannot walk. They cannot [even] make a sound with their throats.
8 Those who make idols end up like them. So does everyone who trusts them.
9 Israel, trust the LORD. He is your helper and your shield.
10 Descendants of Aaron, trust the LORD. He is your helper and your shield.
11 If you fear the LORD, trust the LORD. He is your helper and your shield.
12 The LORD, who is [always] thinking about us, will bless us. He will bless the descendants of Israel. He will bless the descendants of Aaron.
13 He will bless those who fear the LORD, from the least important to the most important.
14 May the LORD continue to bless you and your children.
15 You will be blessed by the LORD, the maker of heaven and earth.
16 The highest heaven belongs to the LORD, but he has given the earth to the descendants of Adam.
17 Those who are dead do not praise the LORD, nor do those who go into the silence [of the grave].
18 But we will thank the LORD now and forever. Hallelujah!
