113:005 Who is like Yahweh, our God, who has his seat on high,
113:006 Who stoops down to see in heaven and in the earth?
113:007 He raises up the poor out of the dust. Lifts up the needy
from the ash heap;
113:008 that he may set him with princes, even with the princes
of his people.
113:009 He settles the barren woman in her home, as a joyful mother
of children. Praise Yah!
114:001 When Israel went forth out of Egypt, the house of Jacob from
a people of foreign language;
114:002 Judah became his sanctuary, Israel his dominion.
114:003 The sea saw it, and fled. The Jordan was driven back.
114:004 The mountains skipped like rams, the little hills like lambs.
114:005 What was it, you sea, that you fled? You Jordan,
that you turned back?
114:006 You mountains, that you skipped like rams; you little hills,
like lambs?
114:007 Tremble, you earth, at the presence of the Lord, at the presence
of the God of Jacob,
114:008 who turned the rock into a pool of water, the flint into
a spring of waters.
115:001 Not to us, Yahweh, not to us, but to your name give glory,
for your loving kindness, and for your truth's sake.
115:002 Why should the nations say, "Where is their God, now?"
115:003 But our God is in the heavens. He does whatever he pleases.
115:004 Their idols are silver and gold, the work of men's hands.
115:005 They have mouths, but they don't speak. They have eyes,
but they don't see.
115:006 They have ears, but they don't hear. They have noses,
but they don't smell.
115:007 They have hands, but they don't feel. They have feet, but they
don't walk, neither do they speak through their throat.
115:008 Those who make them will be like them; yes, everyone who
trusts in them.
115:009 Israel, trust in Yahweh! He is their help and their shield.
115:010 House of Aaron, trust in Yahweh! He is their help and their shield.
115:011 You who fear Yahweh, trust in Yahweh! He is their help
and their shield.
115:012 Yahweh remembers us. He will bless us. He will bless the house
of Israel. He will bless the house of Aaron.
115:013 He will bless those who fear Yahweh, both small and great.
115:014 May Yahweh increase you more and more, you and your children.
115:015 Blessed are you by Yahweh, who made heaven and earth.
115:016 The heavens are the heavens of Yahweh; but the earth has
he given to the children of men.
115:017 The dead don't praise Yah, neither any who go down into silence;
115:018 But we will bless Yah, from this time forth and forevermore.
Praise Yah!
116:001 I love Yahweh, because he listens to my voice, and my
cries for mercy.
116:002 Because he has turned his ear to me, therefore I will call
on him as long as I live.
116:003 The cords of death surrounded me, the pains of Sheol got a hold
of me. I found trouble and sorrow.
