Psalm 115
Not to us, O Yahweh, not to us,
But to your name give glory,
For your lovingkindness, and for your truth’s sake.
2 Why should the nations say,
Where is now their Elohim?
3 But our Elohim is in the heavens:
He has done whatever he pleased.
4 Their idols are silver and gold,
The work of men’s hands.
5 They have mouths, but they speak not;
Eyes have they, but they see not;
6 They have ears, but they hear not;
Noses have they, but they smell not;
7 They have hands, but they handle not;
Feet have they, but they walk not;
Neither speak they through their throat.
8 They that make them shall be like them;
Every one that trusts in them.
9 O Israel, trust in Yahweh:
He is their help and their shield.
10 O house of Aaron, trust in Yahweh:
He is their help and their shield.
11 You that fear Yahweh, trust in Yahweh:
He is their help and their shield.
12 Yahweh 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 them that fear Yahweh,
Both small and great.
14 Yahweh increase you more and more,
You and your children.
15 Blessed are you of Yahweh,
Who made heaven and earth.
16 The heavens are the heavens of Yahweh;
But the earth has he given to the children of men.
17 The dead praise not Yah,
Neither any that go down into silence;
18 But we will bless Yah,
From this time forth and for evermore.
HalleluYah.
Psalm 116
I love Yahweh, because he hears
My voice and my supplications.
2 Because he has inclined his ear to me,
Therefore will I call upon him as long as I live.
3 The cords of death compassed me,
And the pains of Sheol got hold upon me:
I found trouble and sorrow.
4 Then I called upon the name of Yahweh:
O Yahweh, I plead you, deliver my soul.
5 Gracious is Yahweh, and righteous;
Yes, our Elohim is merciful.
6 Yahweh preserves the simple:
I was brought low, and he saved me.
7 Return to your rest, O my soul;
For Yahweh has dealt bountifully with you.
8 For you have delivered my soul from death,
My eyes from tears,
And my feet from falling.
9 I will walk before Yahweh
In the land of the living.
10 I believe, for I will speak:
I was greatly afflicted:
11 I said in my haste,
All men are liars.
12 What shall I render to Yahweh
For all his benefits toward me?
13 I will take the cup of salvation,
And call upon the name of Yahweh.
14 I will pay my vows to Yahweh,
In the presence of all his people.
15 Precious in the sight of Yahweh
Is the death of his saints.
16 O Yahweh, truly I am your servant:
I am your servant, the son of your handmaid;
You have loosed my bonds.
17 I will offer to you the sacrifice of thanksgiving,
And will call upon the name of Yahweh.
18 I will pay my vows to Yahweh,
In the presence of all his people,
19 In the courts of Yahweh’s house,
In the middle of you, O Jerusalem.
HalleluYah!
Psalm 117
O praise Yahweh, all you nations;
Laud him, all you peoples.
2 For his lovingkindness is great toward us;
And the truth of Yahweh endures for ever.
HalleluYah!
Psalm 118
Oh give thanks to Yahweh; for he is good;
For his lovingkindness endures forever.
2 Let Israel now say,
That his lovingkindness endures forever.
3 Let the house of Aaron now say,
That his lovingkindness endures forever.
4 Let them now that fear Yahweh say,
That his lovingkindness endures forever.
5 Out of my distress I called upon Yah:
Yah answered me and set me in a large place.
6 Yahweh is on my side; I will not fear:
What can man do to me?
7 Yahweh is on my side among them that help me:
Therefore shall I see my desire upon them that hate me.
8 It is better to take refuge in Yahweh
Than to put confidence in man.
9 It is better to take refuge in Yahweh
Than to put confidence in princes.
10 All nations compassed me about:
In the name of Yahweh I will cut them Off.
11 They compassed me about; yes, they compassed me about:
In the name of Yahweh I will cut them off.
12 They compassed me about like bees; they are quenched as the fire of thorns:
In the name of Yahweh I will cut them off.
13 Pushing, you pushed me to fall;
But Yahweh helped me.
14 Yah is my strength and song;
And he has become my salvation.
15 The voice of rejoicing and salvation is in the tents of the righteous:
The right hand of Yahweh does valiantly.
16 The right hand of Yahweh is exalted:
The right hand of Yahweh does valiantly.
17 I shall not die, but live,
And declare the works of Yah.
18 Yah has chastened me grievously;
But he has not given me over to death.
19 Open to me the gates of righteousness:
I will enter into them, I will give thanks to Yah.
20 This is the gate of Yahweh;
The righteous shall enter into it.
21 I will give thanks to you; for you have answered me,
And have become my salvation.
22 The stone which the builders rejected
Has become the head of the corner.
23 This is Yahweh’s doing;
It is marvelous in our eyes.
24 This is the day which Yahweh has made;
We will rejoice and be glad in it.
25 Save now, we plead you, O Yahweh:
O Yahweh, we plead you, send now prosperity.
26 Blessed be he that comes in the name of Yahweh:
We have blessed you out of the house of Yahweh.
27 Yahweh is El, and he has given us light:
Bind the sacrifice with cords, even to the horns of the altar.
28 You are my El, and I will give thanks to you:
You are my Elohim, I will exalt you.
29 Oh give thanks to Yahweh; for he is good:
For his lovingkindness endures forever.
