Psalms 115-118
Chapter 115
Psalm 115
Glory to God Alone
1 Not to us, Yahweh, not to us,
but to Your name give glory
because of Your faithful love, because of Your truth.(a)
2 Why should the nations say,
"Where is their God?"(b)
3 Our God is in heaven
and does whatever He pleases.(c)
4 Their idols are silver and gold,
made by human hands.(d)
5 They have mouths but cannot speak,
eyes, but cannot see.
6 They have ears but cannot hear,
noses, but cannot smell.(e)
7 They have hands but cannot feel,
feet, but cannot walk.(f)
They cannot make a sound with their throats.(g)
8 Those who make them are[a] just like them,
as are all who trust in them.(h)
9 Israel,[b] trust in the
Lord
!(i)
He is their help and shield.(j)
10 House of Aaron, trust in the
Lord
!(k)
He is their help and shield.(l)
11 You who fear the
Lord
, trust in the
Lord
!(m)
He is their help and shield.
12 The
Lord
remembers us and will bless us.
He will bless the house of Israel;
He will bless the house of Aaron;(n)
13 He will bless those who fear the
Lord
—
small and great alike.(o)
14 May the
Lord
add to your numbers,
both yours and your children's.(p)
15 May you be blessed by the
Lord
,
the Maker of heaven and earth.(q)
16 The heavens are the
Lord
's,[c]
but the earth He has given to the human race.(r)
17 It is not the dead who praise the
Lord
,
nor any of those descending into the silence of death.(s)
18 But we will praise the
Lord
,
both now and forever.(t)
Hallelujah!
Chapter 116
Psalm 116
Thanks to God for Deliverance
1 I love the
Lord
because He has heard
my appeal for mercy.(a)
2 Because He has turned His ear to me,
I will call out to Him as long as I live.(b)
3 The ropes of death were wrapped around me,
and the torments of Sheol overcame me;
I encountered trouble and sorrow.(c)
4 Then I called on the name of Yahweh:
"Yahweh, save me!"(d)
5 The
Lord
is gracious and righteous;
our God is compassionate.(e)
6 The
Lord
guards the inexperienced;
I was helpless, and He saved me.(f)
7 Return to your rest, my soul,
for the
Lord
has been good to you.(g)
8 For You,
Lord
, rescued me from death,
my eyes from tears,
my feet from stumbling.(h)
9 I will walk before the
Lord
in the land of the living.(i)
10 I believed, even when I said,
"I am severely afflicted."(j)
11 In my alarm I said,
"Everyone is a liar."(k)
12 How can I repay the
Lord
for all the good He has done for me?(l)
13 I will take the cup of salvation
and call on the name of Yahweh.(m)
14 I will fulfill my vows to the
Lord
in the presence of all His people.(n)
15 The death of His faithful ones
is valuable in the
Lord
's sight.(o)
16
Lord
, I am indeed Your servant;
I am Your servant, the son of Your female servant.
You have loosened my bonds.(p)
17 I will offer You a sacrifice of thanksgiving
and call on the name of Yahweh.(q)
18 I will fulfill my vows to the
Lord
in the presence of all His people,(r)
19 in the courts of the
Lord
's house—
within you, Jerusalem.(s)
Hallelujah!
Chapter 117
Psalm 117
Universal Call to Praise
1 Praise the
Lord
, all nations!
Glorify Him, all peoples!(a)
2 For His faithful love to us is great;
the
Lord
's faithfulness endures forever.(b)
Hallelujah!
Chapter 118
Psalm 118
Thanksgiving for Victory
1 Give thanks to the
Lord
, for He is good;
His faithful love endures forever.(a)
2 Let Israel say,
"His faithful love endures forever."(b)
3 Let the house of Aaron say,
"His faithful love endures forever."(c)
4 Let those who fear the
Lord
say,
"His faithful love endures forever."(d)
5 I called to the
Lord
in distress;(e)
the
Lord
answered me
and put me in a spacious place.[a](f)
6 The
Lord
is for me; I will not be afraid.
What can man do to me?(g)
7 The
Lord
is my helper,
Therefore, I will look in triumph on those who hate me.(h)
8 It is better to take refuge in the
Lord
than to trust in man.(i)
9 It is better to take refuge in the
Lord
than to trust in nobles.(j)
10 All the nations surrounded me;
in the name of Yahweh I destroyed them.(k)
11 They surrounded me, yes, they surrounded me;
in the name of Yahweh I destroyed them.(l)
12 They surrounded me like bees;(m)
they were extinguished like a fire among thorns;
in the name of Yahweh I destroyed them.(n)
13 You[b] pushed me[c] hard to make me fall,
but the
Lord
helped me.(o)
14 The
Lord
is my strength and my song;
He has become my salvation.(p)
15 There are shouts of joy and victory
in the tents of the righteous:
"The
Lord
's right hand performs valiantly!(q)
16 The
Lord
's right hand is raised.
The
Lord
's right hand performs valiantly!"(r)
17 I will not die, but I will live
and proclaim what the
Lord
has done.(s)
18 The
Lord
disciplined me severely
but did not give me over to death.(t)
19 Open the gates of righteousness for me;
I will enter through them
and give thanks to the
Lord
.(u)
20 This is the gate of the
Lord
;
the righteous will enter through it.(v)
21 I will give thanks to You
because You have answered me
and have become my salvation.(w)
22 The stone that the builders rejected
has become the cornerstone.(x)
23 This came from the
Lord
;
it is wonderful in our eyes.(y)
24 This is the day the
Lord
has made;
let us rejoice and be glad in it.(z)
25
Lord
, save us!
Lord
, please grant us success!(aa)
26 He who comes in the name
of the
Lord
is blessed.(ab)
From the house of the
Lord
we bless you.(ac)
27 The
Lord
is God and has given us light.
Bind the festival sacrifice with cords
to the horns of the altar.(ad)
28 You are my God, and I will give You thanks.
You are my God; I will exalt You.(ae)
29 Give thanks to the
Lord
, for He is good;
His faithful love endures forever.(af)
