115 Not unto us, O Jehovah, not unto us,
But unto thy name give glory,
For thy lovingkindness, and for thy truth’s sake.
² Wherefore should the nations say,
Where is now their God?
³ But our God is in the heavens:
He hath done whatsoever he 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 shall be like unto them;
Yea, every one that trusteth in them.
⁹ O Israel, trust thou in Jehovah:
He is their help and their shield.
¹⁰ O house of Aaron, trust ye in Jehovah:
He is their help and their shield.
¹¹ Ye that fear Jehovah, trust in Jehovah:
He is their help and their shield.
¹² Jehovah 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 Jehovah,
Both small and great.
¹⁴ Jehovah increase you more and more,
You and your children.
¹⁵ Blessed are ye of Jehovah,
Who made heaven and earth.
¹⁶ The heavens are the heavens of Jehovah;
But the earth hath he given to the children of men.
¹⁷ The dead praise not ^[a]Jehovah,
Neither any that go down into silence;
¹⁸ But we will bless ^[b]Jehovah
From this time forth and for evermore.
^[c]Praise ye Jehovah.

116 I love Jehovah, because he heareth
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 cords of death compassed me,
And the pains of Sheol ^[d]gat hold upon me:
I found trouble and sorrow.
⁴ Then called I upon the name of Jehovah:
O Jehovah, I beseech thee, deliver my soul.
⁵ Gracious is Jehovah, and righteous;
Yea, our God is merciful.
⁶ Jehovah preserveth the simple:
I was brought low, and he saved me.
⁷ Return unto thy rest, O my soul;
For Jehovah 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 Jehovah
In the ^[e]land of the living.
¹⁰ I ^[f]believe, for I will speak:
I was greatly afflicted:
¹¹ I said in my ^[g]haste,
All men are liars.
¹² What shall I render unto Jehovah
For all his benefits toward me?
¹³ I will take the cup of salvation,
And call upon the name of Jehovah.
¹⁴ I will pay my vows unto Jehovah,
Yea, in the presence of all his people.
¹⁵ Precious in the sight of Jehovah
Is the death of his saints.
¹⁶ O Jehovah, truly I am thy servant:
I am thy servant, the son of thy handmaid;
Thou hast loosed my bonds.
¹⁷ I will offer to thee the sacrifice of thanksgiving,
And will call upon the name of Jehovah.
¹⁸ I will pay my vows unto Jehovah,
Yea, in the presence of all his people,
¹⁹ In the courts of Jehovah’s house,
In the midst of thee, O Jerusalem.
^[h]Praise ye Jehovah.

117 Oh praise Jehovah, all ye nations;
Laud him, all ye peoples.
² For his lovingkindness is great toward us;
And the truth of Jehovah endureth for ever.
^[i]Praise ye Jehovah.

118 Oh give thanks unto Jehovah; for he is good;
For his lovingkindness endureth for ever.
² Let Israel now say,
That his lovingkindness endureth for ever.
³ Let the house of Aaron now say,
That his lovingkindness endureth for ever.
⁴ Let them now that fear Jehovah say,
That his lovingkindness endureth for ever.
⁵ Out of my distress I called upon ^[j]Jehovah:
^[k]Jehovah answered me and set me in a large place.
⁶ Jehovah is on my side; I will not fear:
What can man do unto me?
⁷ Jehovah is on my side among them that help me:
Therefore shall I see my desire upon them that hate me.
⁸ It is better to take refuge in Jehovah
Than to put confidence in man.
⁹ It is better to take refuge in Jehovah
Than to put confidence in princes.
¹⁰ All nations compassed me about:
In the name of Jehovah I will cut them off.
¹¹ They compassed me about; yea, they compassed me about:
In the name of Jehovah I will cut them off.
¹² They compassed me about like bees;
they are quenched as the fire of thorns:
In the name of Jehovah I will cut them off.
¹³ Thou didst thrust sore at me that I might fall;
But Jehovah helped me.
^14 [l]Jehovah is my strength and song;
And he is become my salvation.
¹⁵ The voice of rejoicing and salvation is in the tents of the righteous:
The right hand of Jehovah doeth valiantly.
¹⁶ The right hand of Jehovah is exalted:
The right hand of Jehovah doeth valiantly.
¹⁷ I shall not die, but live,
And declare the works of ^[m]Jehovah.
^18 [n]Jehovah hath chastened me sore;
But he hath not given me over unto death.
¹⁹ Open to me the gates of righteousness:
I will enter into them, I will give thanks unto ^[o]Jehovah.
²⁰ This is the gate of Jehovah;
The righteous shall enter into it.
²¹ I will give thanks unto thee; for thou hast answered me,
And art become my salvation.
²² The stone which the builders rejected
Is become the head of the corner.
²³ This is ^[p]Jehovah’s doing;
It is marvellous in our eyes.
²⁴ This is the day which Jehovah hath made;
We will rejoice and be glad in it.
²⁵ Save now, we beseech thee, O Jehovah:
O Jehovah, we beseech thee, send now prosperity.
²⁶ Blessed be he that ^[q]cometh in the name of Jehovah:
We have blessed you out of the house of Jehovah.
²⁷ Jehovah is God, and he hath given us light:
Bind the sacrifice with cords, even unto the horns of the altar.
²⁸ Thou art my God, and I will give thanks unto thee:
Thou art my God, I will exalt thee.
²⁹ Oh give thanks unto Jehovah; for he is good;
For his lovingkindness endureth for ever.
