Psalms 115

Ps 135:15-20

1 Not unto us, O Lord, not unto us, but unto Your name give glory,

for the sake of Your mercy, and for the sake of Your truth.

2 (Ps 63:1; 84:2) Why should the nations say,

"Where now is their God?"

3 (Ps 79:10; 80:5) But our God is in the heavens;

He does whatever He pleases.

4 (Isa 30:29; Ps 62:8) Their idols are silver and gold,

the work of men's hands.

5 (Ps 42:11; 43:5) They have mouths, but they cannot speak;

eyes, but they cannot see;

6 (2Sa 17:22; Dt 3:8-9) they have ears, but they cannot hear;

noses, but they cannot smell;

7 (Ps 88:7; Jnh 2:3) they have hands, but they cannot feel;

feet, but they cannot walk; neither can they speak with their throat.

8 (Job 35:10; Ps 63:6) Those who make them are like them;

so is everyone who trusts in them.

9 (Ps 38:6; 18:2) O Israel, trust in the Lord;

He is their help and their shield.

10 (Ps 42:3; Joel 2:17) O house of Aaron, trust in the Lord;

He is their help and their shield.

11 (Ps 42:5; 43:5) You who fear the Lord, trust in the Lord;

He is their help and their shield.

12 The Lord 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 those who fear the Lord,

both the small and great ones.

14 The Lord shall increase you more and more,

you and your children.

15 You are blessed of the Lord, who made heaven and earth.

16 The heavens belong to the Lord,

but the earth He has given to the children of men.

17 The dead do not praise the Lord, nor do any who go down into silence.

18 But we will bless the Lord from this time and for evermore.

Praise the Lord!



Psalms 115

[1] Not unto us, O LORD, not unto us, but unto thy name give glory, for thy

mercy, and for thy truth's sake.

[2] Wherefore should the heathen say, Where is now their God?

[3] But our God is in the heavens: he hath done whatsoever he hath 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 are like unto them; so is every one that trusteth in

them.

[9] O Israel, trust thou in the LORD: he is their help and their shield.

[10] O house of Aaron, trust in the LORD: he is their help and their shield.

[11] Ye that fear the LORD, trust in the LORD: he is their help and their

shield.

[12] The LORD hath 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 the LORD, both small and great.

[14] The LORD shall increase you more and more, you and your children.

[15] Ye are blessed of the LORD which made heaven and earth.

[16] The heaven, even the heavens, are the LORD's: but the earth hath he

given to the children of men.

[17] The dead praise not the LORD, neither any that go down into silence.

[18] But we will bless the LORD from this time forth and for evermore.

Praise the LORD.



Psalm 116



1 I love the Lord, because He has heard my voice

and my supplications.

2 (Ps 63:1; 84:2) Because He has inclined His ear to me,

therefore I will call upon Him as long as I live.

3 (Ps 79:10; 80:5) The cords of death encircled me,

and the pains of Sheol took hold ofme;

I found trouble and sorrow.

4 (Isa 30:29; Ps 62:8) Then called I upon the name of the Lord:

"O Lord, I plead with You, deliver my soul."

5 (Ps 42:11; 43:5) Gracious is the Lord, and righteous;

indeed, our God is merciful.

6 (2Sa 17:22; Dt 3:8-9) The Lord protects the simple;

I was brought low, and He helped me.

7 (Ps 88:7; Jnh 2:3) Return to your rest, O my soul;

for the Lord has vindicated you.

8 (Job 35:10; Ps 63:6) For You have delivered my soul from death,

my eyes from tears, and my feet from falling.

9 (Ps 38:6; 18:2) I will walk before the Lord

in the land of the living.

10 (Ps 42:3; Joel 2:17) I believed, indeed I have spoken:

"I am greatly afflicted."

11Ps 42:5; 43:5 I said in my haste, "All men are liars."

12 What shall I render unto the Lord

for all His benefits toward me?

13 I will take the cup of salvation and call upon the name of the Lord.

14 I will pay my vows unto the Lord now in the presence of all His people.

15 Precious in the sight of the Lord is the death of His godly ones.

16 O Lord, I am Your servant;

I am Your servant, the son of Your female servant; You have loosed my bonds.

17 I will offer to You the sacrifice of thanksgiving

and will call upon the name of the Lord.

18 I will pay my vows unto the Lord

now in the presence of all His people,

19 in the courts of the house of the Lord,

in your midst, O Jerusalem.

Praise the Lord!



Psalms 116

[1] I love the LORD, because he hath heard my voice and my supplications.

[2] Because he hath inclined his ear unto me, therefore will I call upon him

as long as I live.

[3] The sorrows of death compassed me, and the pains of hell gat hold upon

me: I found trouble and sorrow.

[4] Then called I upon the name of the LORD; O LORD, I beseech thee, deliver

my soul.

[5] Gracious is the LORD, and righteous; yea, our God is merciful.

[6] The LORD preserveth the simple: I was brought low, and he helped me.

[7] Return unto thy rest, O my soul; for the LORD hath dealt bountifully

with thee.

[8] For thou hast delivered my soul from death, mine eyes from tears, and my

feet from falling.

[9] I will walk before the LORD in the land of the living.

[10] I believed, therefore have I spoken: I was greatly afflicted:

[11] I said in my haste, All men are liars.

[12] What shall I render unto the LORD for all his benefits toward me?

[13] I will take the cup of salvation, and call upon the name of the LORD.

[14] I will pay my vows unto the LORD now in the presence of all his people.

[15] Precious in the sight of the LORD is the death of his saints.

[16] O LORD, truly I am thy servant; I am thy servant, and the son of thine

handmaid: thou hast loosed my bonds.

[17] I will offer to thee the sacrifice of thanksgiving, and will call upon

the name of the LORD.

[18] I will pay my vows unto the LORD now in the presence of all his people,

[19] In the courts of the LORD's house, in the midst of thee, O Jerusalem.

Praise ye the LORD.



Psalm 117

Praise the Lord!



Psalms 117

Psalms 118

1 Oh, give thanks unto the Lord, for He is good,

because His mercy endures forever.

2 (Ps 63:1; 84:2) Let Israel say,

"His mercy endures forever."

3 (Ps 79:10; 80:5) Let the house of Aaron say,

"His mercy endures forever."

4 (Isa 30:29; Ps 62:8) Let those who fear the Lord say,

"His mercy endures forever."

5 (Ps 42:11; 43:5) I called upon the Lord from my distress;

the Lord answered me and set me in an open place.

6 (2Sa 17:22; Dt 3:8-9) The Lord is on my side; I will not fear.

What can people do to me?

7 (Ps 88:7; Jnh 2:3) The Lord is on my side to help me;

I shall look in triumph upon those who hate me.

8 (Job 35:10; Ps 63:6) It is better to trust in the Lord

than to put confidence in man.

9 (Ps 38:6; 18:2) It is better to trust in the Lord

than to put confidence in princes.

10 (Ps 42:3; Joel 2:17) All nations encircled me,

but in the name of the Lord I will destroy them.

11 (Ps 42:5; 43:5) They circled me; indeed, they surrounded me,

but in the name of the Lord I will destroy them.

12 They circled me like bees; they went forth as a fire over thorns,

but in the name of the Lord I will destroy them.

13 You have pushed against me, that I was falling,

but the Lord helped me.

14 The Lord is my strength and song;

He has become my salvation.

15 The voice of rejoicing and salvation

is in the tents of the righteous:

"The right hand of the Lord is valiant.

16 The right hand of the Lord is exalted;

the right hand of the Lord is valiant."

17 I shall not die, but I shall live

and declare the works of the Lord.

18 The Lord has severely chastened me,

but He has not given me over unto death.

19 Open to me the gates of righteousness;

I will go into them, and I will praise the Lord.

20 This is the gate of the Lord;

the righteous shall enter through.

21 I will thank You that You have heard me

and have become my deliverance.

22 The stone that the builders rejected

has become the cornerstone.

23 This is what the Lord has done;

it is marvelous in our eyes.

24 This is the day that the Lord has made;

we will rejoice and be glad in it.

25 Save us, we ask You, O Lord; O Lord, we ask You, send now success.

26 Blessed be he that comes in the name of the Lord:

we have blessed you out of the house of the Lord.

27 The Lord is God, and He has shown us His light;

bind the sacrifice with cords, even unto the horns of the altar.

28 You are my God, and I will praise You; You are my God, I will exalt You.

29 Oh, give thanks unto the Lord, for He is good,

for His mercy endures forever.
