Psalms 113; Psalms 114; Psalms 115

1 (112-1) Praise the Lord, ye children: praise ye the name of the Lord.

2 (112-2) Blessed be the name of the Lord, from henceforth now and for ever.

3 (112-3) From the rising of the sun unto the going down of the same, the name of the Lord is worthy of praise.

4 (112-4) The Lord is high above all nations; and his glory above the heavens.

5 (112-5) Who is as the Lord our God, who dwelleth on high:

6 (112-6) and looketh down on the low things in heaven and in earth?

7 (112-7) Raising up the needy from the earth, and lifting up the poor out of the dunghill:

8 (112-8) That he may place him with princes, with the princes of his people.

9 (112-9) Who maketh a barren woman to dwell in a house, the joyful mother of children.

1 (113-1) When Israel went out of Egypt, the house of Jacob from a barbarous people:

2 (113-2) Judea was made his sanctuary, Israel his dominion.

3 (113-3) The sea saw and fled: Jordan was turned back.

4 (113-4) The mountains skipped like rams, and the hills like the lambs of the flock.

5 (113-5) What ailed thee, O thou sea, that thou didst flee: and thou, O Jordan, that thou wast turned back?

6 (113-6) Ye mountains, that ye skipped like rams, and ye hills, like lambs of the flock?

7 (113-7) At the presence of the Lord the earth was moved, at the presence of the God of Jacob:

8 (113-8) Who turned the rock into pools of water, and the stony hill into fountains of waters.

1 (113-9) Not to us, O Lord, not to us; but to thy name give glory.

2 (113-10) For thy mercy, and for thy truth’s sake: lest the Gentiles should say: Where is their God?

3 (113-11) But our God is in heaven: he hath done all things whatsoever he would.

4 (113-12) The idols of the Gentiles are silver and gold, the works of the hands of men.

5 (113-13) They have mouths and speak not: they have eyes and see not.

6 (113-14) They have ears and hear not: they have noses and smell not.

7 (113-15) They have hands and feel not: they have feet and walk not: neither shall they cry out through their throat.

8 (113-16) Let them that make them become like unto them: and all such as trust in them.

9 (113-17) The house of Israel hath hoped in the Lord: he is their helper and their protector.

10 (113-18) The house of Aaron hath hoped in the Lord: he is their helper and their protector.

11 (113-19) They that fear the Lord have hoped in the Lord: he is their helper and their protector.

12 (113-20) The Lord hath been mindful of us, and hath blessed us. He hath blessed the house of Israel: he hath blessed the house of Aaron.

13 (113-21) He hath blessed all that fear the Lord, both little and great.

14 (113-22) May the Lord add blessings upon you: upon you, and upon your children.

15 (113-23) Blessed be you of the Lord, who made heaven and earth.

16 (113-24) The heaven of heaven is the Lord’s: but the earth he has given to the children of men.

17 (113-25) The dead shall not praise thee, O Lord: nor any of them that go down to hell.

18 (113-26) But we that live bless the Lord: from this time now and for ever.
