PSALM 111
PRAISE ye the LORD.
I will praise the LORD with my whole heart, In the assembly of the upright, and in the congregation.
The works of the LORD are great, Sought out of all them that have pleasure therein.
His work is honourable and glorious: And his righteousness endureth for ever.
He hath made his wonderful works to be remembered: The LORD is gracious and full of compassion.
He hath given meat unto them that fear him: He will ever be mindful of his covenant.
He hath shewed his people the power of his works, That he may give them the heritage of the heathen.
The works of his hands are verity and judgment;
All his commandments are sure.
They stand fast for ever and ever, And are done in truth and uprightness.
He sent redemption unto his people: He hath commanded his covenant for ever: Holy and reverend is his name.
The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom: A good understanding have all they that do his commandments: His praise endureth for ever.
PSALM 116
I LOVE the LORD, because he hath heard My voice and my supplications.
Because he hath inclined his ear unto me, Therefore will I call upon him as long as I live.
The sorrows of death compassed me, And the pains of hell gat hold upon me: I found trouble and sorrow.
Then called I upon the name of the LORD;
O LORD, I beseech thee, deliver my soul.
Gracious is the LORD, and righteous;
Yea, our God is merciful.
The LORD preserveth the simple: I was brought low, and he helped me.
Return unto thy rest, O my soul;
For the LORD hath dealt bountifully with thee.
For thou hast delivered my soul from death, Mine eyes from tears, and my feet from falling.
I will walk before the LORD In the land of the living.
I believed, therefore have I spoken: I was greatly afflicted: I said in my haste, All men are liars.
What shall I render unto the LORD For all his benefits toward me?
I will take the cup of salvation, And call upon the name of the LORD.
I will pay my vows unto the LORD now In the presence of all his people.
Precious in the sight of the LORD Is the death of his saints.
O LORD, truly I am thy servant; I am thy servant, And the son of thine handmaid: Thou hast loosed my bonds.
I will offer to thee the sacrifice of thanksgiving, And will call upon the name of the LORD.
I will pay my vows unto the LORD now In the presence of all his people, In the courts of the LORD'S house, In the midst of thee, O Jerusalem.
Praise ye the LORD.
PSALM 118
O GIVE thanks unto the LORD; for he is good: Because his mercy endureth for ever.
Let Israel now say, That his mercy endureth for ever.
Let the house of Aaron now say, That his mercy endureth for ever.
Let them now that fear the LORD say, That his mercy endureth for ever.
I called upon the LORD in distress: The LORD answered me, and set me in a large place.
The LORD is on my side; I will not fear: What can man do unto me?
The LORD taketh my part with them that help me: Therefore shall I see my desire upon them that hate me.
It is better to trust in the LORD Than to put confidence in man.
It is better to trust in the LORD Than to put confidence in princes.
All nations compassed me about: But in the name of the LORD will I destroy them.
They compassed me about; yea, they compassed me about: But in the name of the LORD I will destroy them.
They compassed me about like bees;
They are quenched as the fire of thorns: For in the name of the LORD I will destroy them.
Thou hast thrust sore at me that I might fall: But the LORD helped me....
PSALM 121
I WILL lift up mine eyes unto the hills, From whence cometh my help.
My help cometh from the LORD, Which made heaven and earth.
He will not suffer thy foot to be moved: He that keepeth thee will not slumber.
Behold, he that keepeth Israel Shall neither slumber nor sleep.
The LORD is thy keeper: The LORD is thy shade upon thy right hand.
The sun shall not smite thee by day, Nor the moon by night.
The LORD shall preserve thee from all evil: He shall preserve thy soul.
The LORD shall preserve thy going out and thy coming in From this time forth, and even for evermore.
