Psalm 113–114

Psalm 113

¹Praise ye Jehovah.

Praise, O ye servants of Jehovah,

Praise the name of Jehovah.

²Blessed be the name of Jehovah

From this time forth and for evermore.

³From the rising of the sun unto the going down of the same

Jehovah’s name is to be praised.

⁴Jehovah is high above all nations,

And his glory above the heavens.

⁵Who is like unto Jehovah our God,

That hath his seat on high,

⁶That humbleth himself to behold

The things that are in heaven and in the earth?

⁷He raiseth up the poor out of the dust,

And lifteth up the needy from the dunghill;

⁸That he may set him with princes,

Even with the princes of his people.

⁹He maketh the barren woman to keep house,

And to be a joyful mother of children.

Praise ye Jehovah.

Psalm 114

¹When Israel went forth out of Egypt,

The house of Jacob from a people of strange language;

²Judah became his sanctuary,

Israel his dominion.

³The sea saw it, and fled;

The Jordan was driven back.

⁴The mountains skipped like rams,

The little hills like lambs.

⁵What aileth thee, O thou sea, that thou fleest?

Thou Jordan, that thou turnest back?

⁶Ye mountains, that ye skip like rams;

Ye little hills, like lambs?

⁷Tremble, thou earth, at the presence of the Lord,

At the presence of the God of Jacob,

⁸Who turned the rock into a pool of water,

The flint into a fountain of waters.
