115:1Not unto us, O Jehovah, not unto us, but unto thy name give glory, for thy loving-kindness and for thy truth's sake.
115:2Wherefore should the nations say, Where then is their God?
115:3But our God is in the heavens: he hath done whatsoever he pleased.
115:4Their idols are silver and gold, the work of men's hands:
115:5They have a mouth, and they speak not; eyes have they, and they see not;
115:6They have ears, and they hear not; a nose have they, and they smell not;
115:7They have hands, and they handle not; feet have they, and they walk not; they give no sound through their throat.
115:8They that make them are like unto them, -- every one that confideth in them.
115:9O Israel, confide thou in Jehovah: he is their help and their shield.
115:10House of Aaron, confide in Jehovah: he is their help and their shield.
115:11Ye that fear Jehovah, confide in Jehovah: he is their help and their shield.
115:12Jehovah hath been mindful of us: he will bless, he will bless the house of Israel; he will bless the house of Aaron;
115:13He will bless them that fear Jehovah, both the small and the great.
115:14Jehovah will add unto you more, unto you and unto your children.
115:15Ye are blessed of Jehovah, who made the heavens and the earth.
115:16The heavens are the heavens of Jehovah, but the earth hath he given to the children of men.
115:17The dead praise not Jah, neither any that go down into silence;
115:18But *we* will bless Jah from this time forth and for evermore. Hallelujah!
116:1I love Jehovah, for he hath heard my voice and my supplications;
116:2For he hath inclined his ear unto me, and I will call upon him during all my days.
116:3The bands of death encompassed me, and the anguish of Sheol took hold of me; I found trouble and sorrow:
116:4Then called I upon the name of Jehovah: I beseech thee, Jehovah, deliver my soul.
116:5Gracious is Jehovah and righteous; and our God is merciful.
116:6Jehovah keepeth the simple: I was brought low, and he saved me.
116:7Return unto thy rest, O my soul; for Jehovah hath dealt bountifully with thee.
116:8For thou hast delivered my soul from death, mine eyes from tears, my feet from falling.
116:9I will walk before Jehovah in the land of the living.
116:10I believed, therefore have I spoken. As for me, I was greatly afflicted.
116:11I said in my haste, All men are liars.
116:12What shall I render unto Jehovah, for all his benefits toward me?
116:13I will take the cup of salvation, and call upon the name of Jehovah.
116:14I will perform my vows unto Jehovah, yea, before all his people.
116:15Precious in the sight of Jehovah is the death of his saints.
116:16Yea, Jehovah! for I am thy servant; I am thy servant, the son of thy handmaid: thou hast loosed my bonds.
116:17I will offer to thee the sacrifice of thanksgiving, and will call upon the name of Jehovah.
116:18I will perform my vows unto Jehovah, yea, before all his people,
116:19In the courts of Jehovah's house, in the midst of thee, O Jerusalem. Hallelujah!
117:1Praise Jehovah, all ye nations; laud him, all ye peoples;
117:2For his loving-kindness is great toward us, and the truth of Jehovah endureth for ever. Hallelujah!
118:1Give ye thanks unto Jehovah; for he is good; for his loving-kindness endureth for ever.
118:2Oh let Israel say, that his loving-kindness endureth for ever.
118:3Oh let the house of Aaron say, that his loving-kindness endureth for ever.
118:4Oh let them that fear Jehovah say, that his loving-kindness endureth for ever.
118:5I called upon Jah in distress; Jah answered me and set me in a large place.
118:6Jehovah is for me, I will not fear; what can man do unto me?
118:7Jehovah is for me among them that help me; and I shall see my desire upon them that hate me.
118:8It is better to trust in Jehovah than to put confidence in man;
118:9It is better to trust in Jehovah than to put confidence in nobles.
118:10All nations encompassed me; but in the name of Jehovah have I destroyed them.
118:11They encompassed me, yea, encompassed me; but in the name of Jehovah have I destroyed them.
118:12They encompassed me like bees; they are quenched as the fire of thorns: for in the name of Jehovah have I destroyed them.
118:13Thou hast thrust hard at me that I might fall; but Jehovah helped me.
118:14My strength and song is Jah, and he is become my salvation.
118:15The voice of triumph and salvation is in the tents of the righteous: the right hand of Jehovah doeth valiantly;
118:16The right hand of Jehovah is exalted, the right hand of Jehovah doeth valiantly.
118:17I shall not die, but live, and declare the works of Jah.
118:18Jah hath chastened me sore; but he hath not given me over unto death.
118:19Open to me the gates of righteousness: I will enter into them; Jah will I praise.
118:20This is the gate of Jehovah: the righteous shall enter therein.
118:21I will give thee thanks, for thou hast answered me, and art become my salvation.
118:22The stone which the builders rejected hath become the head of the corner:
118:23This is of Jehovah; it is wonderful in our eyes.
118:24This is the day that Jehovah hath made; we will rejoice and be glad in it.
118:25Oh save, Jehovah, I beseech thee; Jehovah, I beseech thee, oh send prosperity!
118:26Blessed be he that cometh in the name of Jehovah. We have blessed you out of the house of Jehovah.
118:27Jehovah is *God, and he hath given us light: bind the sacrifice with cords, -- up to the horns of the altar.
118:28Thou art my *God, and I will give thee thanks; my God, I will exalt thee.
118:29Give ye thanks unto Jehovah; for he is good; for his loving-kindness endureth for ever.
