Psalms 115,116,117

Psalms 115

1Not to us, LORD, not to us, But to Your name give glory, Because of Your mercy, because of Your truth.

2Why should the nations say, “Where, then, is their God?”

3But our God is in the heavens; He does whatever He pleases.

4Their idols are silver and gold, The work of human hands.

5They have mouths, but they cannot speak; They have eyes, but they cannot see;

6They have ears, but they cannot hear; They have noses, but they cannot smell;

7They have hands, but they cannot feel; They have feet, but they cannot walk; They cannot make a sound with their throat.

8Those who make them will become like them, Everyone who trusts in them.

9Israel, trust in the LORD; He is their help and their shield.

10House of Aaron, trust in the LORD; He is their help and their shield.

11You who fear the LORD, trust in the LORD; He is their help and their shield.

12The LORD has been mindful of us; He will bless us. He will bless the house of Israel; He will bless the house of Aaron.

13He will bless those who fear the LORD, The small together with the great.

14May the LORD increase you, You and your children.

15May you be blessed of the LORD, Maker of heaven and earth.

16The heavens are the heavens of the LORD, But the earth He has given to the sons of mankind.

17The dead do not praise the LORD, Nor do any who go down into silence;

18But as for us, we will bless the LORD From this time and forever. Praise the LORD!

Psalms 116

1I love the LORD, because He hears My voice and my pleas.

2Because He has inclined His ear to me, Therefore I will call upon Him as long as I live.

3The snares of death encompassed me And the terrors of Sheol came upon me; I found distress and sorrow.

4Then I called upon the name of the LORD: “Please, LORD, save my life!”

5Gracious is the LORD, and righteous; Yes, our God is compassionate.

6The LORD watches over the simple; I was brought low, and He saved me.

7Return to your rest, my soul, For the LORD has dealt generously with you.

8For You have rescued my soul from death, My eyes from tears, And my feet from stumbling.

9I shall walk before the LORD In the land of the living.

10I believed when I said, “I am greatly afflicted.”

11I said in my alarm, “All people are liars.”

12What shall I repay to the LORD For all His benefits to me?

13I will lift up the cup of salvation, And call upon the name of the LORD.

14I will pay my vows to the LORD; May it be in the presence of all His people!

15Precious in the sight of the LORD Is the death of His godly ones.

16O LORD, I surely am Your slave, I am Your slave, the son of Your female slave, You have unfastened my restraints.

17I will offer You a sacrifice of thanksgiving, And call upon the name of the LORD.

18I will pay my vows to the LORD, May it be in the presence of all His people,

19In the courtyards of the LORD’S house, In the midst of you, Jerusalem! Praise the LORD!

Psalms 117

1Praise the LORD, all nations; Sing His praises, all peoples!

2For His mercy toward us is great, And the truth of the LORD is everlasting. Praise the LORD!
