Psalm 113–118

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!

Psalm 116

¹I have loved, because Jehovah heareth My voice, my supplication,

²Because He hath inclined His ear to me, And during my days I call.

³Compassed me have cords of death, And straits of Sheol have found me, Distress and sorrow I find.

⁴And in the name of Jehovah I call: I pray Thee, O Jehovah, deliver my soul,

⁵Gracious is Jehovah, and righteous, Yea, our God is merciful,

⁶A preserver of the simple is Jehovah, I was low, and to me He giveth salvation.

⁷Turn back, O my soul, to thy rest, For Jehovah hath conferred benefits on thee.

⁸For Thou hast delivered my soul from death, My eyes from tears, my feet from overthrowing.

⁹I walk habitually before Jehovah In the lands of the living.

¹⁰I have believed, for I speak, I—I have been afflicted greatly.

¹¹I said in my haste, ‘Every man is a liar.’

¹²What do I return to Jehovah? All His benefits are upon me.

¹³The cup of salvation I lift up, And in the name of Jehovah I call.

¹⁴My vows to Jehovah let me complete, I pray you, before all His people.

¹⁵Precious in the eyes of Jehovah is the death for His saints.

¹⁶Cause it to come, O Jehovah, for I am Thy servant. I am Thy servant, son of Thy handmaid, Thou hast opened my bonds.

¹⁷To Thee I sacrifice a sacrifice of thanks, And in the name of Jehovah I call.

¹⁸My vows to Jehovah let me complete, I pray you, before all His people,

¹⁹In the courts of the house of Jehovah, In thy midst, O Jerusalem, praise ye Jah!

Psalm 117

¹Praise Jehovah, all ye nations, Glorify Him, all ye peoples.

²For mighty to us hath been His kindness, And the truth of Jehovah is to the age. Praise ye Jah!

Psalm 118

¹Give ye thanks to Jehovah, For good, for to the age is His kindness.

²I pray you, let Israel say, That, to the age is His kindness.

³I pray you, let the house of Aaron say, That, to the age is His kindness.

⁴I pray you, let those fearing Jehovah say, That, to the age is His kindness.

⁵From the straitness I called Jah, Jah answered me in a broad place.

⁶Jehovah is for me, I do not fear what man doth to me.

⁷Jehovah is for me among my helpers, And I—I look on those hating me.

⁸Better to take refuge in Jehovah than to trust in man,

⁹Better to take refuge in Jehovah, Than to trust in princes.

¹⁰All nations have compassed me about, In the name of Jehovah I surely cut them off.

¹¹They have compassed me about, Yea, they have compassed me about, In the name of Jehovah I surely cut them off.

¹²They compassed me about as bees, They have been extinguished as a fire of thorns, In the name of Jehovah I surely cut them off.

¹³Thou hast sorely thrust me to fall, And Jehovah hath helped me.

¹⁴My strength and song is Jah, And He is to me for salvation.

¹⁵A voice of singing and salvation, Is in the tents of the righteous, The right hand of Jehovah is doing valiantly.

¹⁶The right hand of Jehovah is exalted, The right hand of Jehovah is doing valiantly.

¹⁷I do not die, but live, And recount the works of Jah,

¹⁸Jah hath sorely chastened me, And to death hath not given me up.

¹⁹Open ye to me gates of righteousness, I enter into them—I thank Jah.

²⁰This is the gate to Jehovah, The righteous enter into it.

²¹I thank Thee, for Thou hast answered me, And art to me for salvation.

²²A stone the builders refused Hath become head of a corner.

²³From Jehovah hath this been, It is wonderful in our eyes,

²⁴This is the day Jehovah hath made, We rejoice and are glad in it.

²⁵I beseech Thee, O Jehovah, save, I pray Thee, I beseech Thee, O Jehovah, prosper, I pray Thee.

²⁶Blessed is he who is coming In the name of Jehovah, We blessed you from the house of Jehovah,

²⁷God is Jehovah, and He giveth to us light, Direct ye the festal-sacrifice with cords, Unto the horns of the altar.

²⁸My God Thou art, and I confess Thee, My God, I exalt Thee.

²⁹Give ye thanks to Jehovah, For good, for to the age, is His kindness!
