Psalm 113–115

Psalm 113^*

^1†Praise ye the Lord.

^aPraise, O ye ^abservants of the Lord,

Praise the name of the Lord.

^2cBlessed be the name of the Lord

From this time forth and for evermore.

^3dFrom the rising of the sun unto the going down of the same

^eThe Lord’s name is ^fto be praised.

⁴The Lord is ^ghigh above all nations,

And ^hhis glory above the heavens.

⁵ⁱWho is like unto the Lord our God,

Who ^†dwelleth on high,

^6jWho 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 the needy out of the dunghill;

^8kThat he may ^lset him with princes,

Even with the princes of his people.

^9mHe maketh the barren woman ^†to keep house,

And to be a joyful mother of children.

ⁿPraise ye the Lord.

Psalm 114

¹When ^aIsrael went out of Egypt,

The house of Jacob ^bfrom a people of strange language;

²Judah was ^chis sanctuary,

And Israel ^dhis dominion.

^3eThe sea saw it, and fled:

^fJordan was driven back.

^4gThe mountains skipped like rams,

And the ^hlittle hills like lambs.

⁵ⁱWhat ailed thee, O thou sea, that thou fleddest?

Thou Jordan, that thou wast driven back?

^6gYe mountains, that ye skipped like rams;

And ye ^hlittle hills, like lambs?

^7kTremble, thou earth, at the presence of the Lord,

At the presence of the God of Jacob;

⁸Which turned ^lthe rock into ^ma standing water,

The ⁿflint into a fountain of waters.

Psalm 115

^1aNot unto us, O Lord, not unto us,

But unto thy name ^bgive glory,

For thy mercy, and for thy truth’s sake.

²Wherefore should the heathen say,

^cWhere is now their God?

^3dBut our God is in the heavens:

^eHe hath done whatsoever he hath pleased.

^4fTheir idols are silver and gold,

^gThe work of men’s hands.

⁵They have mouths, ^hbut they speak not:

Eyes have they, ⁱbut they see not:

^6kThey have ears, but they hear not:

Noses have they, but they smell not:

^7lThey have hands, but they handle not:

Feet have they, but they walk not:

Neither speak they through their throat.

^8mThey that make them are like unto them;

So is every one that trusteth in them.

⁹ⁿO Israel, ^otrust thou in the Lord:

^pHe is their help and their ^qshield.

¹⁰ⁿO house of Aaron, ^otrust in the Lord:

^pHe is their help and their ^qshield.

^11nrYe that fear the Lord, ^otrust in the Lord:

^pHe is their help and their ^qshield.

¹²The Lord hath been mindful of us: he will bless us;

He will bless ^sthe house of Israel;

He will bless ^sthe house of Aaron.

¹³He will bless ^ntthem that fear the Lord,

Both small ^†and great.

¹⁴The Lord shall ^uincrease you more and more,

You and your children.

¹⁵Ye are ^vblessed of the Lord

^wWhich made heaven and earth.

^16xThe heaven, even the heavens, are the Lord’s:

But the earth hath he given to the children of men.

^17xxThe dead praise not the ^yLord,

Neither any that go down into ^zsilence.

^18aBut we will bless the ^yLord

From this time forth and for evermore.

^bPraise the Lord.
