The Psalms, starting at chapter 115
Psalm 115
{115:1} Not to us, LORD, not to us,
but to your name give glory,
for your loving kindness, and for your truth's sake.
{115:2} Why should the nations say,
"Where is their God, now?"
{115:3} But our God is in the heavens.
He does whatever he pleases.
{115:4} Their idols are silver and gold,
the work of men's hands.
{115:5} They have mouths, but they don't speak.
They have eyes, but they don't see.
{115:6} They have ears, but they don't hear.
They have noses, but they don't smell.
{115:7} They have hands, but they don't feel.
They have feet, but they don't walk,
neither do they speak through their throat.
{115:8} Those who make them will be like them;
yes, everyone who trusts in them.
{115:9} Israel, trust in the LORD!
He is their help and their shield.
{115:10} House of Aaron, trust in the LORD!
He is their help and their shield.
{115:11} You who fear the LORD, trust in the LORD!
He is their help and their shield.
{115:12} The LORD remembers us. He will bless us.
He will bless the house of Israel.
He will bless the house of Aaron.
{115:13} He will bless those who fear the LORD,
both small and great.
{115:14} May the LORD increase you more and more,
you and your children.
{115:15} Blessed are you by the LORD,
who made heaven and earth.
{115:16} The heavens are the heavens of the LORD;
but the earth has he given to the children of men.
{115:17} The dead don't praise the LORD,
neither any who go down into silence;
{115:18} But we will bless the LORD,
from this time forth and forevermore.
Praise the LORD!
Psalm 116
{116:1} I love the LORD, because he listens to my voice,
and my cries for mercy.
{116:2} Because he has turned his ear to me,
therefore I will call on him as long as I live.
{116:3} The cords of death surrounded me,
the pains of Sheol got a hold of me.
I found trouble and sorrow.
{116:4} Then I called on the name of the LORD:
"LORD, I beg you, deliver my soul."
{116:5} The LORD is Gracious and righteous.
Yes, our God is merciful.
{116:6} The LORD preserves the simple.
I was brought low, and he saved me.
{116:7} Return to your rest, my soul,
for the LORD has dealt bountifully with you.
{116:8} For you have delivered my soul from death,
my eyes from tears,
and my feet from falling.
{116:9} I will walk before the LORD in the land of the living.
{116:10} I believed, therefore I said,
"I was greatly afflicted."
{116:11} I said in my haste,
"All men are liars."
{116:12} What will I give to the LORD for all his benefits toward me?
{116:13} I will take the cup of salvation, and call on the name of
the LORD.
{116:14} I will pay my vows to the LORD,
yes, in the presence of all his people.
{116:15} Precious in the sight of the LORD is the death of his holy
ones.
{116:16} LORD, truly I am your servant.
I am your servant, the son of your handmaid.
You have freed me from my chains.
{116:17} I will offer to you the sacrifice of thanksgiving,
and will call on the name of the LORD.
{116:18} I will pay my vows to the LORD,
yes, in the presence of all his people,
{116:19} in the courts of the LORD's house,
in the midst of you, Jerusalem.
Praise the LORD!
Psalm 117
{117:1} Praise the LORD, all you nations!
Extol him, all you peoples!
{117:2} For his loving kindness is great toward us.
The LORD's faithfulness endures forever.
Praise the LORD!
