Psalms 113 [Commentary] 
|
| 1. |
Praise the LORD !
Praise, O servants of the LORD,
Praise the name of the LORD.
|
| 2. |
Blessed be the name of the LORD
From this time forth and forever.
|
| 3. |
From the rising of the sun to its setting
The name of the LORD is to be praised.
|
| 4. |
The LORD is high above all nations;
His glory is above the heavens.
|
| 5. |
Who is like the LORD our God,
Who is enthroned on high,
|
| 6. |
Who humbles Himself to behold
The things that are in heaven and in the earth?
|
| 7. |
He raises the poor from the dust
And lifts the needy from the ash heap,
|
| 8. |
To make them sit with princes,
With the princes of His people.
|
| 9. |
He makes the barren woman abide in the house
As a joyful mother of children.
Praise the LORD !
|
| |
Psalms 114 [Commentary] [Map]
|
| 1. |
When Israel went forth from Egypt,
The house of Jacob from a people of strange language,
|
| 2. |
Judah became His sanctuary,
Israel, His dominion.
|
| 3. |
The sea looked and fled;
The Jordan turned back.
|
| 4. |
The mountains skipped like rams,
The hills, like lambs.
|
| 5. |
What ails 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. |
Tremble, O earth, before the Lord,
Before the God of Jacob,
|
| 8. |
Who turned the rock into a pool of water,
The flint into a fountain of water.
|
| |
Psalms 115 [Commentary]
|
| 1. |
Not to us, O LORD, not to us,
But to Your name give glory
Because of Your lovingkindness, because of Your truth.
|
| 2. |
Why should the nations say,
"Where, now, is their God?"
|
| 3. |
But our God is in the heavens;
He does whatever He pleases.
|
| 4. |
Their idols are silver and gold,
The work of man's hands.
|
| 5. |
They have mouths, but they cannot speak;
They have eyes, but they cannot see;
|
| 6. |
They have ears, but they cannot hear;
They have noses, but they cannot smell;
|
| 7. |
They have hands, but they cannot feel;
They have feet, but they cannot walk;
They cannot make a sound with their throat.
|
| 8. |
Those who make them will become like them,
Everyone who trusts in them.
|
| 9. |
O Israel, trust in the LORD;
He is their help and their shield.
|
| 10. |
O house of Aaron, trust in the LORD;
He is their help and their shield.
|
| 11. |
You who fear the LORD, trust in the LORD;
He is their help and their shield.
|
| 12. |
The LORD has been mindful of us; He will bless us;
He will bless the house of Israel;
He will bless the house of Aaron.
|
| 13. |
He will bless those who fear the LORD,
The small together with the great.
|
| 14. |
May the LORD give you increase,
You and your children.
|
| 15. |
May you be blessed of the LORD,
Maker of heaven and earth.
|
| 16. |
The heavens are the heavens of the LORD,
But the earth He has given to the sons of men.
|
| 17. |
The dead do not praise the LORD,
Nor do any who go down into silence;
|
| 18. |
But as for us, we will bless the LORD
From this time forth and forever.
Praise the LORD !
