115 Not unto us, O Jehovah, not unto us, but unto thy name give glory, for thy loving-kindness and for thy truth's sake.

² Wherefore should the nations say, Where then is 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 a mouth, and they speak not; eyes have they, and they see not;

⁶ They have ears, and they hear not; a nose have they, and they smell not;

⁷ They have hands, and they handle not; feet have they, and they walk not; they give no sound through their throat.

⁸ They that make them are like unto them,—every one that confideth in them.

⁹ O Israel, confide thou in Jehovah: he is their help and their shield.

¹⁰ House of Aaron, confide in Jehovah: he is their help and their shield.

¹¹ Ye that fear Jehovah, confide in Jehovah: he is their help and their shield.

¹² Jehovah hath been mindful of us: he will bless, he will bless the house of Israel; he will bless the house of Aaron;

¹³ He will bless them that fear Jehovah, both the small and the great.

¹⁴ Jehovah will add unto you more, unto you and unto your children.

¹⁵ Ye are blessed of Jehovah, who made the heavens and the 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 Jah, neither any that go down into silence;

¹⁸ But *we* will bless Jah from this time forth and for evermore. Hallelujah!

116 I love Jehovah, for he hath heard my voice [and] my supplications;

² For he hath inclined his ear unto me, and I will call upon him during [all] my days.

³ The bands of death encompassed me, and the anguish of Sheol took hold of me; I found trouble and sorrow:

⁴ Then called I upon the name of Jehovah: I beseech thee, Jehovah, deliver my soul.

⁵ Gracious is Jehovah and righteous; and our God is merciful.

⁶ Jehovah keepeth 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, my feet from falling.

⁹ I will walk before Jehovah in the land of the living.

¹⁰ I believed, therefore have I spoken. As for me, I was greatly afflicted.

¹¹ I said in my 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 perform my vows unto Jehovah, yea, before all his people.

¹⁵ Precious in the sight of Jehovah is the death of his saints.

¹⁶ Yea, Jehovah! for 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 perform my vows unto Jehovah, yea, before all his people,

¹⁹ In the courts of Jehovah's house, in the midst of thee, O Jerusalem. Hallelujah!

117 Praise Jehovah, all ye nations; laud him, all ye peoples;

² For his loving-kindness is great toward us, and the truth of Jehovah [endureth] for ever. Hallelujah!

118 Give ye thanks unto Jehovah; for he is good; for his loving-kindness [endureth] for ever.

² Oh let Israel say, that his loving-kindness [endureth] for ever.

³ Oh let the house of Aaron say, that his loving-kindness [endureth] for ever.

⁴ Oh let them that fear Jehovah say, that his loving-kindness [endureth] for ever.

⁵ I called upon Jah in distress; Jah answered me [and set me] in a large place.

⁶ Jehovah is for me, I will not fear; what can man do unto me?

⁷ Jehovah is for me among them that help me; and I shall see [my desire] upon them that hate me.

⁸ It is better to trust in Jehovah than to put confidence in man;

⁹ It is better to trust in Jehovah than to put confidence in nobles.

¹⁰ All nations encompassed me; but in the name of Jehovah have I destroyed them.

¹¹ They encompassed me, yea, encompassed me; but in the name of Jehovah have I destroyed them.

¹² They encompassed me like bees; they are quenched as the fire of thorns: for in the name of Jehovah have I destroyed them.

¹³ Thou hast thrust hard at me that I might fall; but Jehovah helped me.

¹⁴ My strength and song is Jah, and he is become my salvation.

¹⁵ The voice of triumph 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 Jah.

¹⁸ Jah 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; Jah will I praise.

²⁰ This is the gate of Jehovah: the righteous shall enter therein.

²¹ I will give thee thanks, for thou hast answered me, and art become my salvation.

²² [The] stone which the builders rejected hath become the head of the corner:

²³ This is of Jehovah; it is wonderful in our eyes.

²⁴ This is the day that Jehovah hath made; we will rejoice and be glad in it.

²⁵ Oh save, Jehovah, I beseech thee; Jehovah, I beseech thee, oh send prosperity!

²⁶ Blessed be he that 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,—up to the horns of the altar.

²⁸ Thou art my God, and I will give thee thanks; my God, I will exalt thee.

²⁹ Give ye thanks unto Jehovah; for he is good; for his loving-kindness [endureth] for ever.
