Psalm 113:
1 Praise the LORD! (Hallelujah!) Praise, O servants of the LORD, Praise the name of the LORD.
[2] Blessed be the name of the LORD From this time forth and forever.
[3] From the rising of the sun to its setting The name of the LORD is to be praised [with awe-inspired reverence].
[4] The LORD is high above all nations, And His glory above the heavens.
[5] Who is like the LORD our God, Who is enthroned on high,
[6] Who humbles Himself to regard The heavens and the earth?
[7] He raises the poor out of the dust And lifts the needy from the ash heap,
[8] That He may seat them with princes, With the princes of His people.
[9] He makes the barren woman live in the house As a joyful mother of children. Praise the LORD! (Hallelujah!)
Psalm 115:
16 The heavens are the heavens of 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 as for us, we will bless and affectionately and gratefully praise the LORD From this time forth and forever. Praise the LORD! (Hallelujah!)
Psalm 118:
1 O give thanks to the LORD, for He is good; For His lovingkindness endures forever.
[2] Oh let Israel say, “His lovingkindness endures forever.”
[3] Oh let the house of Aaron say, “His lovingkindness endures forever.”
[4] Oh let those who [reverently] fear the LORD, say, “His lovingkindness endures forever.”
[5] Out of my distress I called on the LORD; The LORD answered me and set me free.
[6] The LORD is on my side; I will not fear. What can [mere] man do to me?
[7] The LORD is on my side, He is among those who help me; Therefore I will look [in triumph] on those who hate me.
[8] It is better to take refuge in the LORD Than to trust in man.
[9] It is better to take refuge in the LORD Than to trust in princes.
