Tremble at the Presence of the Lord

114 When pIsrael went out from Egypt,

the house of Jacob from qa people of strange language,

2  Judah became his rsanctuary,

Israel his dominion.

3  sThe sea looked and fled;

tJordan turned back.

4  uThe mountains skipped like rams,

the hills like lambs.

5  What vails you, O sea, that you flee?

O Jordan, that you turn back?

6  O mountains, that you skip like rams?

O hills, like lambs?

7  wTremble, O earth, at the presence of the Lord,

at the presence of the God of Jacob,

8  who turns xthe rock into ya pool of water,

zthe flint into a spring of water.

To Your Name Give Glory

115 aNot to us, O Lord, not to us, but to your name give glory,

bfor the sake of your steadfast love and your faithfulness!

2  Why should the nations say,

c“Where is their God?”

3  dOur God is in the heavens;

ehe does all that he pleases.

4  fTheir idols are silver and gold,

gthe work of human hands.

5  They have mouths, hbut do not speak;

eyes, but do not see.

6  They have ears, but do not hear;

noses, but do not smell.

7  They have hands, but do not feel;

feet, but do not walk;

and they do not make a sound in their throat.

8  iThose who make them become like them;

so do all who trust in them.

9  O jIsrael,1 ktrust in the Lord!

He is their lhelp and their shield.

10  O jhouse of Aaron, trust in the Lord!

He is their help and mtheir shield.

11  You nwho fear the Lord, trust in the Lord!

He is their help and their shield.

12  The Lord has remembered us; he will bless us;

he will bless othe house of Israel;

he will bless othe house of Aaron;

13  he will pbless those who fear the Lord,

qboth the small and the great.

14  May the Lord rgive you increase,

you and your children!

15  May syou be blessed by the Lord,

twho made heaven and earth!

16  The heavens are the Lord’s heavens,

but the earth he has given to the children of man.

17  uThe dead do not praise the Lord,

nor do any who go down into vsilence.

18  But wwe will bless the Lord

from this time forth and forevermore.

xPraise the Lord!
