1 ¶ Praise the LORD. I will thank the LORD with my whole heart, in the fellowship of the righteous, and in the congregation.

2 The LORD has done great things, that are contemplated by all who delight in them.

3 His work is honorable and glorious: and his righteousness endures for ever.

4 He has caused his wonderful works to be remembered: the LORD is gracious and full of compassion.

5 He has given food to those who fear him: he will always be mindful of his covenant.

6 ¶ He has shown his people his power by his works, by giving them the land of the heathen.

7 The works of his hands are truth and justice; all of his decrees are unalterable.

8 They stand fast for ever and ever, and are enacted in truth and righteousness.

9 He sent his people redemption: he ordained his covenant for ever: holy and awesome is his name.

10 The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom: and all who fear him have a good understanding: he will be praised for ever.

Psalm 112

1 ¶ Praise the LORD. Blessed is the man who fears the LORD, who takes great delight in his commandments.

2 His descendants will be mighty on the earth: the offspring of the righteous will be blessed.

3 Wealth and riches will be in his house: and his righteousness endures for ever.

4 For the upright light will dawn in the darkness: he is gracious, and full of compassion, and righteous.

5 It is good for a man to be generous, and willing to lend: and fair in doing business.

6 ¶ Surely he will never be brought low: the righteous will always be remembered.

7 He will not fear bad news: his heart is fixed, trusting in the LORD.

8 His heart is confident, he will not be afraid, until he looks with triumph on his foes.

9 He has distributed freely, he has given to the poor; his righteousness endures for ever; his head will be raised in honor.

10 The wicked will see it, and be grieved; he will gnash his teeth, and slink away: the wicked will never get what he wants.

Psalm 113

1 ¶ Praise the LORD. Praise, O you servants of the LORD, praise the name of the LORD.

2 Blessed be the name of the LORD from this time forth and for evermore.

3 From the rising of the sun to the going down of the same the LORD’S name is to be praised.

4 The LORD is high above all nations, and his glory above the heavens.

5 Who is like to the LORD our God, who dwells on high,

6 Who bends down to see the things that are in heaven, and in the earth!

7 He raises the poor up out of the dust, and lifts the needy out of the dunghill;

8 In order to seat him with princes, even with the princes of his people.

9 He makes the barren woman a homemaker, and a joyful mother of children. Praise the LORD.

Psalm 114

1 ¶ When Israel came out of Egypt, and the house of Jacob left a people with a strange language;

2 Judah became his holy place, and Israel his dominion.

3 The sea saw it, and fled: the Jordan was driven back.

4 The mountains skipped like rams, and the little hills like lambs.

5 What ailed you, O you sea, that you fled? you Jordan, that you were driven back?

6 You mountains, that you skipped like rams; and you little hills, like lambs?

7 Tremble, O earth, at the presence of the Lord, at the presence of the God of Jacob;

8 Who turned the rock into a pool of water, and the flint into a fountain of waters.

Psalm 115

1 ¶ Not to us, O LORD, not to us, but to your name give glory, because of your mercy and truth.

2 Why should the heathen say, Where is their God?

3 Our God is in the heavens: he has done whatever he has pleased.

4 Their idols are silver and gold, the work of men’s hands.

5 They have mouths, but they do not speak: they have eyes, but they do not see:

6 They have ears, but they do not hear: they have noses, but they do not smell:

7 They have hands, but they do not handle: they have feet, but they do not walk: nor do they speak through their throat.

8 Those who make them are like them; as is every one who trusts in them.

9 ¶ O Israel, trust 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 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 small and great.

14 The LORD will cause you and your children to increase.

15 You are blessed by the LORD who made heaven and earth.

16 The heaven of heavens, belongs to the LORD: but he has given the earth 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 forth and for evermore. Praise the LORD.
