112 Praise ye the Lord! Blessed is the man that feareth the Lord, that delighteth greatly in His commandments.

His seed shall be mighty upon the earth; the generation of the upright shall be blessed.

Wealth and riches shall be in his house, and his righteousness endureth for ever.

Unto the upright there ariseth light in the darkness; he is gracious and full of compassion and righteous.

A good man showeth favor and lendeth; he will guide his affairs with discretion.

Surely he shall not be moved forever; the righteous shall be held in everlasting remembrance.

He shall not be afraid of evil tidings; his heart is fixed, trusting in the Lord.

His heart is established; he shall not be afraid until he sees his desires upon his enemies.

He hath dispersed, he hath given to the poor; his righteousness endureth for ever; his horn shall be exalted with honor.

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!

Blessed be the name of the Lord from this time forth and for evermore.

From the rising of the sun unto the going down of the same, the Lord’S name is to be praised.

The Lord is high above all nations, and His glory above the heavens.

Who is like unto the Lord our God who dwelleth on high,

who humbleth Himself to behold the things that are in heaven and on the earth?

He raiseth up the poor out of the dust and lifteth the needy out of the dunghill,

that He may set him with princes, even with the princes of His people.

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 a strange language,

Judah was His sanctuary, and Israel His dominion.

The sea saw it, and fled; Jordan was driven back.

The mountains skipped like rams, and the little hills like lambs.

What ailed thee, O thou sea, that thou fleddest? Thou Jordan, that thou wast driven back?

Ye mountains, that ye skipped like rams, and ye little hills, like lambs?

Tremble, thou earth, at the presence of the Lord, at the presence of the God of Jacob,

who turned the rock into a standing water, the flint into a fountain of waters.
