The Psalms, starting at chapter 112
Psalm 112
{112:1} Praise the LORD![1]
Blessed is the man who fears the LORD,
who delights greatly in his commandments.
{112:2} His seed will be mighty in the land.
The generation of the upright will be blessed.
{112:3} Wealth and riches are in his house.
His righteousness endures forever.
{112:4} Light dawns in the darkness for the upright,
gracious, merciful, and righteous.
{112:5} It is well with the man who deals graciously and lends.
He will maintain his cause in judgment.
{112:6} For he will never be shaken.
The righteous will be remembered forever.
{112:7} He will not be afraid of evil news.
His heart is steadfast, trusting in the LORD.
{112:8} His heart is established.
He will not be afraid in the end when he sees his adversaries.
{112:9} He has dispersed, he has given to the poor.
His righteousness endures forever.
His horn will be exalted with honor.
{112:10} The wicked will see it, and be grieved.
He shall gnash with his teeth, and melt away.
The desire of the wicked will perish.
Psalm 113
{113:1} Praise the LORD!
Praise, you servants of the LORD,
praise the name of the LORD.
{113:2} Blessed be the name of the LORD,
from this time forth and forevermore.
{113:3} From the rising of the sun to the going down of the same,
The LORD's name is to be praised.
{113:4} The LORD is high above all nations,
his glory above the heavens.
{113:5} Who is like the LORD, our God,
who has his seat on high,
{113:6} Who stoops down to see in heaven and in the earth?
{113:7} He raises up the poor out of the dust.
Lifts up the needy from the ash heap;
{113:8} that he may set him with princes,
even with the princes of his people.
{113:9} He settles the barren woman in her home,
as a joyful mother of children.
Praise the LORD!
Psalm 114
{114:1} When Israel went forth out of Egypt,
the house of Jacob from a people of foreign language;
{114:2} Judah became his sanctuary,
Israel his dominion.
{114:3} The sea saw it, and fled.
The Jordan was driven back.
{114:4} The mountains skipped like rams,
the little hills like lambs.
{114:5} What was it, you sea, that you fled?
You Jordan, that you turned back?
{114:6} You mountains, that you skipped like rams;
you little hills, like lambs?
{114:7} Tremble, you earth, at the presence of the Lord,
at the presence of the God of Jacob,
{114:8} who turned the rock into a pool of water,
the flint into a spring of waters.
