Psalms 114:1-118:9
Chapter 114
God's Rescue of Israel from Egypt.
1 When Israel went forth (C1)from Egypt,
The house of Jacob from a people of a (C2)foreign language,
2 Judah became (C1)His sanctuary;
Israel, (C2)His dominion.
3 The (C1)sea looked and fled;
The (C2)Jordan turned back.
4 The mountains (C1)skipped like rams,
The hills, like lambs.
5 What (C1)ails you, sea, that you flee?
Jordan, that you turn back?
6 Mountains, that you skip like rams?
Hills, like lambs?
7 (C1)Tremble, earth, before the Lord,
Before the God of Jacob,
8 Who (C1)turned the rock into a (C2)pool of water,
The (C3)flint into a fountain of water.
Chapter 115
Heathen Idols Contrasted with the LORD.
1 (C1)Not to us, LORD, not to us,
But (C2)to Your name give glory,
Because of Your mercy, because of Your (F1)truth.
2 (C1)Why should the nations say,
"(C2)Where, then, is their God?"
3 But our (C1)God is in the heavens;
He (C2)does whatever He pleases.
4 Their (C1)idols are silver and gold,
The (C2)work of human hands.
5 They have mouths, but they (C1)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 (F1)They have hands, but they cannot feel;
(F2)They have feet, but they cannot walk;
They cannot make a sound with their throat.
8 (C1)Those who make them (F1)will become like them,
Everyone who trusts in them.
9 (C1)Israel, (C2)trust in the LORD;
He is their (C3)help and their shield.
10 House of (C1)Aaron, trust in the LORD;
He is their help and their shield.
11 You who (F1)(C1)fear the LORD, trust in the LORD;
He is their help and their shield.
12 The LORD (C1)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 (C1)bless those who (F1)fear the LORD,
(C2)The small together with the great.
14 May the LORD (C1)increase you,
You and your children.
15 May you be blessed of the LORD,
(C1)Maker of heaven and earth.
16 The heavens are (C1)the heavens of the LORD,
But (C2)the earth He has given to the sons of mankind.
17 The (C1)dead do not praise (F1)the LORD,
Nor do any who go down into (C2)silence;
18 But as for us, we will (C1)bless (F1)the LORD
From this time and forever.
(F2)Praise (F1)the LORD!
Chapter 116
Thanksgiving for Rescue from Death.
1 (C1)I love the LORD, because He (C2)hears
My voice and my pleas.
2 Because He has (C1)inclined His ear to me,
Therefore I will call upon Him as long as I live.
3 The (C1)snares of death encompassed me
And the (F1)terrors of (F2)Sheol (F3)came upon me;
I found distress and sorrow.
4 Then (C1)I called upon the name of the LORD:
"Please, LORD, (C2)save my (F1)life!"
5 (C1)Gracious is the LORD, and (C2)righteous;
Yes, our God is (C3)compassionate.
6 The LORD watches over (C1)the simple;
I was (C2)brought low, and He saved me.
7 Return to your (C1)rest, my soul,
For the LORD has (C2)dealt generously with you.
8 For You have (C1)rescued my soul from death,
My eyes from tears,
And my feet from stumbling.
9 I shall walk before the LORD
In the (F1)(C1)land of the living.
10 I (C1)believed when I said,
"I am (C2)greatly afflicted."
11 I (C1)said in my alarm,
"(C2)All people are liars."
12 What shall I (C1)repay to the LORD
For all His (C2)benefits (F1)to me?
13 I will lift up the (C1)cup of salvation,
And (C2)call upon the name of the LORD.
14 I will (C1)pay my vows to the LORD;
May it be (C2)in the presence of all His people!
15 (C1)Precious in the sight of the LORD
Is the death of His godly ones.
16 O LORD, (F1)I surely am (C1)Your slave,
I am Your slave, the (C2)son of Your female slave,
You have (C3)unfastened my restraints.
17 I will offer You (C1)a sacrifice of thanksgiving,
And (C2)call upon the name of the LORD.
18 I will (C1)pay my vows to the LORD,
May it be in the presence of all His people,
19 In the (C1)courtyards of the LORD'S house,
In the midst of you, (C2)Jerusalem!
(F1)Praise (F2)the LORD!
Chapter 117
A Psalm of Praise.
1 (C1)Praise the LORD, all nations;
Sing His praises, all peoples!
2 For His (C1)mercy toward us is (F1)great,
And the (F2)(C2)truth of the LORD is everlasting.
(F3)Praise (F4)the LORD!
Chapter 118
Thanksgiving for the LORD'S Saving Goodness.
1 (C1)Give thanks to the LORD, for (C2)He is good;
For His mercy is everlasting.
2 Let (C1)Israel say,
"His mercy is everlasting."
3 Oh let the (C1)house of Aaron say,
"His mercy is everlasting."
4 Let those (C1)who (F1)fear the LORD say,
"His mercy is everlasting."
5 From my (C1)distress I called upon (F1)the LORD;
(F1)The LORD answered me and (C2)put me in an open space.
6 The LORD is (C1)for me; I will (C2)not fear;
(C3)What can man do to me?
7 The LORD is for me (C1)among those who help me;
Therefore I will (C2)look with satisfaction on those who hate me.
8 It is (C1)better to take refuge in the LORD
Than to trust in people.
9 It is (C1)better to take refuge in the LORD
Than to trust in noblemen.<
