Psalm 113–114

PSALM 113

Who Is like Yahweh Our God?

¹¹Praise Yah!

^aPraise, O ^bslaves of Yahweh,

Praise the name of Yahweh.

^2aMay the name of Yahweh be blessed

From now until forever.

^3aFrom the rising of the sun to its setting

The ^bname of Yahweh is to be praised.

⁴Yahweh is ^ahigh above all nations;

His ^bglory is above the heavens.

^5aWho is like Yahweh our God,

The One who ^bsits on high,

⁶The One who ^1abrings Himself low to see

The things in heaven and on the earth?

⁷Who ^araises the poor from the dust

And lifts high the needy from the ash heap,

⁸To make them ^asit with ¹nobles,

With the ²nobles of His people.

⁹He ^amakes the barren woman of the house sit

As a glad mother of children.

¹Praise Yah!

PSALM 114

When Israel Went Out from Egypt

¹When Israel went out ^afrom Egypt,

The house of Jacob from a people of ^bstrange language,

²Judah became ^aHis sanctuary,

Israel, ^bHis dominion.

³The ^asea looked and fled;

The ^bJordan turned back.

⁴The mountains ^askipped like rams,

The hills, like lambs.

⁵What ^adisturbs you, O sea, that you flee?

O Jordan, that you turn back?

⁶O mountains, that you skip like rams?

O hills, like lambs?

^7aTremble, O earth, before the Lord,

Before the God of Jacob,

⁸Who ^aturned the rock into a ^bpool of water,

The ^cflint into a spring of water.
