Psalms 113
1 Praise Jehovah! You servants of Jehovah, praise him. Praise the name of Jehovah.
2 Blessed is the name of Jehovah from now and forever.
3 From sunrise to sunset, the name of Jehovah should be praised. (Everywhere and all the time, Jehovah’s name should be praised.)
4 Jehovah is high above all the nations. His glory is above the heavens.
5 Who is like Jehovah our God? He is seated on his high throne.
6 He bends down (humbles himself) to look at heaven and earth.
7 He lifts the poor from the dust. He lifts the needy from a garbage heap.
8 He seats them with important people, with the leaders (princes) of his people.
9 He makes a childless woman a joyful mother. Praise Jehovah!
Psalm 114
1 When Israel left Egypt, when Jacob's family left people who spoke a foreign language,
2 Judah became his holy place and Israel became his government.
3 The Red Sea looked at this and ran away. The Jordan River turned back.
4 The mountains jumped like rams. The hills jumped like lambs.
5 Red Sea, why did you run away? Jordan River, what made you turn back?
6 Mountains, what made you jump like rams? Hills, what made you jump like lambs?
7 Earth, tremble and shake in the presence of Jehovah, in the presence of the God of Jacob.
8 He turns a rock into a pool filled with water and turns flint into a spring flowing with water.
Psalm 115
1 Do not give glory to us, O Jehovah. Do not give glory to us. Give glory to your name because of your loving kindness and faithfulness.
2 Why should other nations say: “Where is their God?”
3 Our God is in heaven. He does whatever he pleases.
4 Their idols are made of silver and gold. Human hands made them.
5 They have mouths, but they cannot speak. They have eyes, but they cannot see.
6 They have ears, but they cannot hear. They have noses, but they cannot smell.
7 They have hands, but they cannot feel. They have feet, but they cannot walk. They cannot even make a sound with their throats.
8 Those who make idols end up like them. So does everyone who trusts them.
9 O Israel, trust Jehovah. He is your helper and your shield.
10 O Descendants of Aaron, trust Jehovah. He is your helper and your shield.
11 If you reverence and respect Jehovah, trust Jehovah. He is your helper and your shield.
12 Jehovah is always thinking about us. He will bless us. He will bless the descendants of Israel. He will bless the descendants of Aaron.
13 He will bless those who reverence and respect Jehovah, from the least important to the most important.
14 May Jehovah continue to bless you and your children.
15 Jehovah, the maker of heaven and earth, will bless you.
16 The highest heaven belongs to Jehovah, but he has given the earth to the sons of men.
17 Those who are dead do not praise Jehovah, nor do those who go into the silence of the grave.
18 We will bless Jehovah now and forever. Praise Jehovah!
Psalm 116
1 I love Jehovah because he hears my voice when I pray.
2 I will call on him as long as I live because he turns his ear toward me (listens to me).
3 The ropes of death became tangled around me. The fear of the grave took hold of me. I experienced pain and agony.
4 But I called on the name of Jehovah: “Please, Jehovah, deliver (rescue) me!”
5 Jehovah is gracious and righteous. Our God is compassionate (merciful).
6 Jehovah protects defenseless people (simple ones). When I was weak, he saved me.
7 I will be at peace again because Jehovah has been good to you.
8 You saved me from death. You saved my eyes from tears and my feet from stumbling.
9 I will walk in Jehovah’s presence in the land of the living.
10 I kept my faith even when I said: I am suffering terribly.
11 I also said when I was panic-stricken: “All men are liars.”
12 How can I repay Jehovah for all the good that he has done for me?
13 I will take the cup of salvation and call on the name of Jehovah.
14 I will keep my vows to Jehovah in the presence of all his people.
15 Precious in the sight of Jehovah is the death of his godly (holy) ones.
16 O Jehovah, I am indeed your servant. I am your servant, the son of your handmaid. You have freed me from my chains.
17 I will bring a song of thanksgiving to you as a sacrifice. I will call on the name of Jehovah.
18 I will keep my vows to Jehovah in the presence of all his people,
19 in the courtyards of Jehovah’s house, in the middle of Jerusalem. Praise Jehovah!
Psalm 117
1 Praise Jehovah, all you nations! Praise him, all you people of the world!
2 His loving kindness toward us is powerful. Jehovah’s truth endures forever. Praise Jehovah!
Psalm 118
1 O Give thanks to Jehovah because he is good and his loving kindness is eternal.
2 Let the people of Israel say: “His loving kindness is eternal.”
3 Let the priests of God say: “His loving kindness is eternal.”
4 Let all who worship him say: “His loving kindness is eternal.”
5 In my distress I called to Jehovah; he answered me and set me free.
6 Jehovah is with me, I will not be afraid; what can man do to me?
7 It is Jehovah who helps me, and I will see my enemies defeated.
8 It is better to trust in Jehovah than to depend on people.
9 It is better to trust in Jehovah than to depend on human leaders.
10 Many enemies were around me; but I destroyed them by the power of Jehovah!
11 They were around me on every side; but I destroyed them by the power of Jehovah!
12 They swarmed around me like bees, but they burned out as quickly as a brush fire; by the power of Jehovah I destroyed them.
13 I was fiercely attacked and was being defeated, but Jehovah helped me.
14 Jehovah makes me powerful and strong; he has saved me.
15 Listen to the glad shouts of victory in the tents of God's people: Jehovah’s mighty power has done it!
16 His power has brought us victory, his mighty power in battle!
17 I will not die; instead, I will live and proclaim the works of Jehovah.
18 Jehovah has punished me severely, but he has not let me die.
19 Open the temple gate of righteousness to me and I will go in and give thanks to Jehovah!
20 This is the gate of Jehovah; only the righteous can come in.
21 I praise you, Jehovah, because you heard me, because you have become my salvation.
22 The stone that the builders rejected as worthless turned out to be the most important of all.
23 Jehovah did this and what a wonderful sight it is!
24 This is the day Jehovah has made let us rejoice and be glad in it!
25 Save us, O Jehovah, save us! Give us success, O Jehovah!
26 Blessed is he who comes in the name of Jehovah! We have blessed you from the house of Jehovah.
27 Jehovah is God and he has given us light. Bind the festival sacrifice with cords to the horns of the altar.
28 You are my God, and I give you thanks. I will proclaim your greatness.
29 Give thanks to Jehovah, for he is good, and his loving kindness is eternal.
