Psalm 113–115

¹Praise ye Jah! Praise, ye servants of Jehovah. Praise the name of Jehovah.

²The name of Jehovah is blessed, From henceforth, and unto the age.

³From the rising of the sun unto its going in, Praised is the name of Jehovah.

⁴High above all nations is Jehovah, Above the heavens is his honour.

⁵Who is as Jehovah our God, He is exalting Himself to sit?

⁶He is humbling Himself to look On the heavens and on the earth.

⁷He is raising up from the dust the poor, From a dunghill He exalteth the needy.

⁸To cause to sit with princes, With the princes of His people.

⁹Causing the barren one of the house to sit, A joyful mother of sons; praise ye Jah!

Psalm 114

¹In the going out of Israel from Egypt, The house of Jacob from a strange people,

²Judah became His sanctuary, Israel his dominion.

³The sea hath seen, and fleeth, The Jordan turneth backward.

⁴The mountains have skipped as rams, Heights as sons of a flock.

⁵What—to thee, O sea, that thou fleest? O Jordan, thou turnest back!

⁶O mountains, ye skip as rams! O heights, as sons of a flock!

⁷From before the Lord be afraid, O earth, From before the God of Jacob,

⁸He is turning the rock to a pool of waters, The flint to a fountain of waters!

Psalm 115

¹Not to us, O Jehovah, not to us, But to Thy name give honour, For Thy kindness, for Thy truth.

²Why do the nations say, ‘Where, pray, is their God.

³And our God is in the heavens, All that He hath pleased He hath done.

⁴Their idols are silver and gold, work of man’s hands,

⁵A mouth they have, and they speak not, Eyes they have, and they see not,

⁶Ears they have, and they hear not, A nose they have, and they smell not,

⁷Their hands, but they handle not, Their feet, and they walk not;

⁸Nor do they mutter through their throat, Like them are their makers, Every one who is trusting in them.

⁹O Israel, trust in Jehovah, ‘Their help and their shield is He.’

¹⁰O house of Aaron, trust in Jehovah, ‘Their help and their shield is He.’

¹¹Ye fearing Jehovah, trust in Jehovah, ‘Their help and their shield is He.’

¹²Jehovah hath remembered us, He blesseth, He blesseth the house of Israel, He blesseth the house of Aaron,

¹³He blesseth those fearing Jehovah, The small with the great.

¹⁴Jehovah addeth to you, to you, and to your sons.

¹⁵Blessed are ye of Jehovah, maker of heaven and earth,

¹⁶The heavens—the heavens are Jehovah’s, And the earth He hath given to sons of men,

¹⁷The dead praise not Jah, Nor any going down to silence.

¹⁸And we, we bless Jah, From henceforth, and unto the age. Praise ye Jah!
