Psalms 113

1When Israel went out of Egypt, the house of Jacob from a barbarous people:● 2Judea was made his sanctuary, Israel his dominion.● 3The sea saw and fled: Jordan was turned back.● 4The mountains skipped like rams, and the hills like the lambs of the flock.● 5What ailed thee, O thou sea, that thou didst flee: and thou, O Jordan, that thou wast turned back?● 6Ye mountains, that ye skipped like rams, and ye hills, like lambs of the flock?● 7At the presence of the Lord the earth was moved, at the presence of the God of Jacob:● 8Who turned the rock into pools of water, and the stony hill into fountains of waters.● 9Not to us, O Lord, not to us; but to thy name give glory.● 10For thy mercy, and for thy truth's sake: lest the Gentiles should say: Where is their God?● 11But our God is in heaven: he hath done all things whatsoever he would.● 12The idols of the Gentiles are silver and gold, the works of the hands of men.● 13They have mouths and speak not: they have eyes and see not.● 14They have ears and hear not: they have noses and smell not.● 15They have hands and feel not: they have feet and walk not: neither shall they cry out through their throat.● 16Let them that make them become like unto them: and all such as trust in them.● 17The house of Israel hath hoped in the Lord: he is their helper and their protector.● 18The house of Aaron hath hoped in the Lord: he is their helper and their protector.● 19They that fear the Lord have hoped in the Lord: he is their helper and their protector.● 20The Lord hath been mindful of us, and hath blessed us. He hath blessed the house of Israel: he hath blessed the house of Aaron.● 21He hath blessed all that fear the Lord, both little and great.● 22May the Lord add blessings upon you: upon you, and upon your children.● 23Blessed be you of the Lord, who made heaven and earth.● 24The heaven of heaven is the Lord's: but the earth he has given to the children of men.● 25The dead shall not praise thee, O Lord: nor any of them that go down to hell.● 26But we that live bless the Lord: from this time now and for ever.●
