Psalm 113
1 Halleluyah! Servants of ADONAI, give praise! Give praise to the
name of ADONAI!
2 Blessed be the name of ADONAI from this moment on and
forever!
3 From sunrise until sunset ADONAI's name is to be praised.
4 ADONAI is high above all nations, his glory above the
heavens.
5 Who is like ADONAI our God, seated in the heights,
6 humbling himself to look on heaven and on earth.
7 He raises the poor from the dust, lifts the needy from the rubbish
heap,
8 in order to give him a place among princes, among the princes of
his people.
9 He causes the childless woman to live at home happily as a mother
of children. Halleluyah!

Psalm 114
1 When Isra'el came out of Egypt, the house of Ya'akov from a people
of foreign speech,
2 Y'hudah became [God's] sanctuary, Isra'el his domain.
3 The sea saw this and fled; the Yarden turned back;
4 the mountains skipped like rams, the hills like young sheep.
5 Why is it, sea, that you flee? Why, Yarden, do you turn back?
6 Why, mountains, do you skip like rams; and you hills like young
sheep?
7 Tremble, earth, at the presence of the Lord, at the presence of the
God of Ya'akov,
8 who turned the rock into a pool of water, flint into flowing
spring.

Psalm 115
1 Not to us, ADONAI, not to us,
but to your name give glory, because of your grace and truth.
2 Why should the nations ask,
"Where is their God?"
3 Our God is in heaven; he does
whatever pleases him.
4 Their idols are mere silver and
gold, made by human hands.
5 They have mouths, but they
can't speak; they have eyes, but they can't see;
6 they have ears, but they can't
hear; they have noses, but they can't smell;
7 they have hands, but they can't
feel; they have feet, but they can't walk; with their throats they can't
make a sound.
8 The people who make them will
become like them, along with everyone who trusts in them.
9 Isra'el, trust in ADONAI! He is
their help and shield.
10 House of Aharon, trust in
ADONAI! He is their help and shield.
11 You who fear ADONAI, trust in
ADONAI! He is their help and shield.
12 ADONAI has kept us in mind,
and he will bless. He will bless the house of Isra'el; he will bless the
house of Aharon;
13 he will bless those who fear
ADONAI, great and small alike.
14 May ADONAI increase your
numbers, both yours and those of your children.
15 May you be blessed by ADONAI,
the maker of heaven and earth.
16 Heaven belongs to ADONAI, but
the earth he has given to humankind.
17 The dead can't praise ADONAI,
not those who sink down into silence.
18 But we will bless ADONAI from
now on and forever. Halleluyah!

Psalm 116
1 I love that ADONAI heard my
voice when I prayed;
2 because he turned his ear to
me, I will call on him as long as I live.
3 The cords of death were all
around me, Sh'ol's constrictions held me fast; I was finding only
distress and anguish.
4 But I called on the name of
ADONAI: "Please, ADONAI! Save me!"
5 ADONAI is merciful and
righteous; yes, our God is compassionate.
6 ADONAI preserves the
thoughtless; when I was brought low, he saved me.
7 My soul, return to your rest!
For ADONAI has been generous toward you.
8 Yes, you have rescued me from
death, my eyes from tears and my feet from falling.
9 I will go on walking in the
presence of ADONAI in the lands of the living.
10 I will keep on trusting even
when I say, "I am utterly miserable,"
11 even when, in my panic, I
declare, "Everything human is deceptive."
12 How can I repay ADONAI for all
his generous dealings with me?
13 I will raise the cup of
salvation and call on the name of ADONAI.
14 I will pay my vows to ADONAI
in the presence of all his people.
15 From ADONAI's point of view,
the death of those faithful to him is costly.
16 Oh, ADONAI! I am your slave; I
am your slave, the son of your slave-girl; you have removed my
fetters.
17 I will offer a sacrifice of
thanks to you and will call on the name of ADONAI.
18 I will pay my vows to ADONAI
in the presence of all his people,
19 in the courtyards of ADONAI's
house, there in your very heart, Yerushalayim. Halleluyah!

Psalm 117
1 Praise ADONAI, all you nations! Worship him, all you peoples!
2 For his grace has overcome us, and ADONAI's truth continues
forever. Halleluyah!

Psalm 118
1 Give thanks to ADONAI; for he
is good, for his grace continues forever.
2 Now let Isra'el say, "His
grace continues forever."
3 Now let the house of Aharon
say, "His grace continues forever."
4 Now let those who fear ADONAI
say, "His grace continues forever."
5 From my being hemmed in I
called on Yah; he answered and gave me more room.
6 With ADONAI on my side, I fear
nothing -what can human beings do to me?
7 With ADONAI on my side as my
help, I will look with triumph at those who hate me.
8 It is better to take refuge in
ADONAI than to trust in human beings;
9 better to take refuge in ADONAI
than to put one's trust in princes.
10 The nations all surrounded me;
in the name of ADONAI I cut them down.
11 They surrounded me on every
side in the name of ADONAI I cut them down.
12 They surrounded me like bees
but were extinguished [as quickly] as a fire in thorns; in the name of
ADONAI I cut them down.
13 You pushed me hard to make me
fall, but ADONAI helped me.
14 Yah is my strength and my
song, and he has become my salvation.
15 The sound of rejoicing and
victory is heard in the tents of the righteous: "ADONAI's right
hand struck powerfully!
16 ADONAI's right hand is raised
in triumph! ADONAI's right hand struck powerfully!"
17 I will not die; no, I will
live and proclaim the great deeds of Yah!
18 Yah disciplined me severely,
but did not hand me over to death.
19 Open the gates of
righteousness for me; I will enter them and thank Yah.
20 This is the gate of ADONAI;
the righteous can enter it.
21 I am thanking you because you
answered me; you became my salvation.
22 The very rock that the
builders rejected has become the cornerstone!
23 This has come from ADONAI, and
in our eyes it is amazing.
24 This is the day ADONAI has
made, a day for us to rejoice and be glad.
25 Please, ADONAI! Save us!
Please, ADONAI! Rescue us!
26 Blessed is he who comes in the
name of ADONAI. We bless you from the house of ADONAI.
27 ADONAI is God, and he gives us
light. Join in the pilgrim festival with branches all the way to the
horns of the altar.
28 You are my God, and I thank
you. You are my God; I exalt you.
29 Give thanks to ADONAI; for he
is good, for his grace continues forever.
