New International Version
Psalm 112[a]
2 Their children(E) will be mighty in the land;
the generation of the upright will be blessed.
3 Wealth and riches(F) are in their houses,
and their righteousness endures(G) forever.
4 Even in darkness light dawns(H) for the upright,
for those who are gracious and compassionate and righteous.(I)
5 Good will come to those who are generous and lend freely,(J)
who conduct their affairs with justice.
6 Surely the righteous will never be shaken;(K)
they will be remembered(L) forever.
7 They will have no fear of bad news;
their hearts are steadfast,(M) trusting in the Lord.(N)
8 Their hearts are secure, they will have no fear;(O)
in the end they will look in triumph on their foes.(P)
9 They have freely scattered their gifts to the poor,(Q)
their righteousness endures(R) forever;
their horn[c] will be lifted(S) high in honor.
10 The wicked will see(T) and be vexed,
they will gnash their teeth(U) and waste away;(V)
the longings of the wicked will come to nothing.(W)
Psalm 113
Praise the Lord, you his servants;(Y)
praise the name of the Lord.
2 Let the name of the Lord be praised,(Z)
both now and forevermore.(AA)
3 From the rising of the sun(AB) to the place where it sets,
the name of the Lord is to be praised.
4 The Lord is exalted(AC) over all the nations,
his glory above the heavens.(AD)
5 Who is like the Lord our God,(AE)
the One who sits enthroned(AF) on high,(AG)
6 who stoops down to look(AH)
on the heavens and the earth?
7 He raises the poor(AI) from the dust
and lifts the needy(AJ) from the ash heap;
8 he seats them(AK) with princes,
with the princes of his people.
9 He settles the childless(AL) woman in her home
as a happy mother of children.
Praise the Lord.
Psalm 114
1 When Israel came out of Egypt,(AM)
Jacob from a people of foreign tongue,
2 Judah(AN) became God’s sanctuary,(AO)
Israel his dominion.
3 The sea looked and fled,(AP)
the Jordan turned back;(AQ)
4 the mountains leaped(AR) like rams,
the hills like lambs.
5 Why was it, sea, that you fled?(AS)
Why, Jordan, did you turn back?
6 Why, mountains, did you leap like rams,
you hills, like lambs?
7 Tremble, earth,(AT) at the presence of the Lord,
at the presence of the God of Jacob,
8 who turned the rock into a pool,
the hard rock into springs of water.(AU)
Psalm 115(AV)
1 Not to us, Lord, not to us
but to your name be the glory,(AW)
because of your love and faithfulness.(AX)
2 Why do the nations say,
“Where is their God?”(AY)
3 Our God is in heaven;(AZ)
he does whatever pleases him.(BA)
4 But their idols are silver and gold,(BB)
made by human hands.(BC)
5 They have mouths, but cannot speak,(BD)
eyes, but cannot see.
6 They have ears, but cannot hear,
noses, but cannot smell.
7 They have hands, but cannot feel,
feet, but cannot walk,
nor can they utter a sound with their throats.
8 Those who make them will be like them,
and so will all who trust in them.
9 All you Israelites, trust(BE) in the Lord—
he is their help and shield.
10 House of Aaron,(BF) trust in the Lord—
he is their help and shield.
11 You who fear him,(BG) trust in the Lord—
he is their help and shield.
12 The Lord remembers(BH) us and will bless us:(BI)
He will bless his people Israel,
he will bless the house of Aaron,
13 he will bless those who fear(BJ) the Lord—
small and great alike.
14 May the Lord cause you to flourish,(BK)
both you and your children.
15 May you be blessed by the Lord,
the Maker of heaven(BL) and earth.
16 The highest heavens belong to the Lord,(BM)
but the earth he has given(BN) to mankind.
17 It is not the dead(BO) who praise the Lord,
those who go down to the place of silence;
18 it is we who extol the Lord,(BP)
both now and forevermore.(BQ)
Psalm 116
1 I love the Lord,(BS) for he heard my voice;
he heard my cry(BT) for mercy.(BU)
2 Because he turned his ear(BV) to me,
I will call on him as long as I live.
3 The cords of death(BW) entangled me,
the anguish of the grave came over me;
I was overcome by distress and sorrow.
4 Then I called on the name(BX) of the Lord:
“Lord, save me!(BY)”
5 The Lord is gracious and righteous;(BZ)
our God is full of compassion.(CA)
6 The Lord protects the unwary;
when I was brought low,(CB) he saved me.(CC)
8 For you, Lord, have delivered me(CF) from death,
my eyes from tears,
my feet from stumbling,
9 that I may walk before the Lord(CG)
in the land of the living.(CH)
10 I trusted(CI) in the Lord when I said,
“I am greatly afflicted”;(CJ)
11 in my alarm I said,
“Everyone is a liar.”(CK)
12 What shall I return to the Lord
for all his goodness(CL) to me?
13 I will lift up the cup of salvation
and call on the name(CM) of the Lord.
14 I will fulfill my vows(CN) to the Lord
in the presence of all his people.
15 Precious in the sight(CO) of the Lord
is the death of his faithful servants.(CP)
16 Truly I am your servant, Lord;(CQ)
I serve you just as my mother did;(CR)
you have freed me from my chains.(CS)
17 I will sacrifice a thank offering(CT) to you
and call on the name of the Lord.
18 I will fulfill my vows(CU) to the Lord
in the presence of all his people,
19 in the courts(CV) of the house of the Lord—
in your midst, Jerusalem.(CW)
Praise the Lord.[f]
Psalm 117
1 Praise the Lord,(CX) all you nations;(CY)
extol him, all you peoples.
2 For great is his love(CZ) toward us,
and the faithfulness of the Lord(DA) endures forever.
Praise the Lord.[g]

Psalm 112-117
King James Version
112 Praise ye the Lord. Blessed is the man that feareth the Lord, that delighteth greatly in his commandments.
2 His seed shall be mighty upon earth: the generation of the upright shall be blessed.
3 Wealth and riches shall be in his house: and his righteousness endureth for ever.
4 Unto the upright there ariseth light in the darkness: he is gracious, and full of compassion, and righteous.
5 A good man sheweth favour, and lendeth: he will guide his affairs with discretion.
6 Surely he shall not be moved for ever: the righteous shall be in everlasting remembrance.
7 He shall not be afraid of evil tidings: his heart is fixed, trusting in the Lord.
8 His heart is established, he shall not be afraid, until he see his desire upon his enemies.
9 He hath dispersed, he hath given to the poor; his righteousness endureth for ever; his horn shall be exalted with honour.
10 The wicked shall see it, and be grieved; he shall gnash with his teeth, and melt away: the desire of the wicked shall perish.
113 Praise ye the Lord. Praise, O ye servants of the Lord, praise the name of the Lord.
2 Blessed be the name of the Lord from this time forth and for evermore.
3 From the rising of the sun unto the going down of the same the Lord's name is to be praised.
4 The Lord is high above all nations, and his glory above the heavens.
5 Who is like unto the Lord our God, who dwelleth on high,
6 Who humbleth himself to behold the things that are in heaven, and in the earth!
7 He raiseth up the poor out of the dust, and lifteth the needy out of the dunghill;
8 That he may set him with princes, even with the princes of his people.
9 He maketh the barren woman to keep house, and to be a joyful mother of children. Praise ye the Lord.
114 When Israel went out of Egypt, the house of Jacob from a people of strange language;
2 Judah was his sanctuary, and Israel his dominion.
3 The sea saw it, and fled: Jordan was driven back.
4 The mountains skipped like rams, and the little hills like lambs.
5 What ailed thee, O thou sea, that thou fleddest? thou Jordan, that thou wast driven back?
6 Ye mountains, that ye skipped like rams; and ye little hills, like lambs?
7 Tremble, thou earth, at the presence of the Lord, at the presence of the God of Jacob;
8 Which turned the rock into a standing water, the flint into a fountain of waters.
115 Not unto us, O Lord, not unto us, but unto thy name give glory, for thy mercy, and for thy truth's sake.
2 Wherefore should the heathen say, Where is now their God?
3 But our God is in the heavens: he hath done whatsoever he hath pleased.
4 Their idols are silver and gold, the work of men's hands.
5 They have mouths, but they speak not: eyes have they, but they see not:
6 They have ears, but they hear not: noses have they, but they smell not:
7 They have hands, but they handle not: feet have they, but they walk not: neither speak they through their throat.
8 They that make them are like unto them; so is every one that trusteth in them.
9 O Israel, trust thou in the Lord: he is their help and their shield.
10 O house of Aaron, trust in the Lord: he is their help and their shield.
11 Ye that fear the Lord, trust in the Lord: he is their help and their shield.
12 The Lord hath been mindful of us: he will bless us; he will bless the house of Israel; he will bless the house of Aaron.
13 He will bless them that fear the Lord, both small and great.
14 The Lord shall increase you more and more, you and your children.
15 Ye are blessed of the Lord which made heaven and earth.
16 The heaven, even the heavens, are the Lord's: but the earth hath he given to the children of men.
17 The dead praise not the Lord, neither any that go down into silence.
18 But we will bless the Lord from this time forth and for evermore. Praise the Lord.
116 I love the Lord, because he hath heard my voice and my supplications.
2 Because he hath inclined his ear unto me, therefore will I call upon him as long as I live.
3 The sorrows of death compassed me, and the pains of hell gat hold upon me: I found trouble and sorrow.
4 Then called I upon the name of the Lord; O Lord, I beseech thee, deliver my soul.
5 Gracious is the Lord, and righteous; yea, our God is merciful.
6 The Lord preserveth the simple: I was brought low, and he helped me.
7 Return unto thy rest, O my soul; for the Lord hath dealt bountifully with thee.
8 For thou hast delivered my soul from death, mine eyes from tears, and my feet from falling.
9 I will walk before the Lord in the land of the living.
10 I believed, therefore have I spoken: I was greatly afflicted:
11 I said in my haste, All men are liars.
12 What shall I render unto the Lord for all his benefits toward me?
13 I will take the cup of salvation, and call upon the name of the Lord.
14 I will pay my vows unto the Lord now in the presence of all his people.
15 Precious in the sight of the Lord is the death of his saints.
16 O Lord, truly I am thy servant; I am thy servant, and the son of thine handmaid: thou hast loosed my bonds.
17 I will offer to thee the sacrifice of thanksgiving, and will call upon the name of the Lord.
18 I will pay my vows unto the Lord now in the presence of all his people.
19 In the courts of the Lord's house, in the midst of thee, O Jerusalem. Praise ye the Lord.
117 O praise the Lord, all ye nations: praise him, all ye people.
2 For his merciful kindness is great toward us: and the truth of the Lord endureth for ever. Praise ye the Lord.
