Psalms 113

¹Alleluia. In the coming forth of Israel out of Ægypt: of the house of Jacob from the barbarous people.

²Jewry was made his sanctification, Israel his dominion.

³The sea saw, and fled: Jordan was turned backward.

⁴The mountains leaped as rams: and the little hills as the lambs of sheep.

⁵What aileth thee o sea that thou didst fly: and thou o Jordan, that thou was turned backward?

⁶Ye mountains leaped as rams, and ye little hills as the lambs of sheep.

⁷At the face of our Lord was the earth moved, at the face of the God of Jacob.

⁸Who turned the rock into pools of waters, and stony hill into fountains of waters.

⁹Not to us O Lord, Not TO US: but to thy name give the glory.

¹⁰For thy mercy, and thy truth: lest at any time the Gentiles say: Where is their God?

¹¹But our God is in heaven: he hath done all things what soever he would.

¹²The idols of the gentiles are silver, and gold, the works of men's hands.

¹³They have mouth, and shall not speak: they have eyes, an shall not see.

¹⁴They have ears, and shall not hear: they have nostrils and shall not smell.

¹⁵They have hands, and shall not handle: they have feet, and shall not walk: they shall not cry in their throat.

¹⁶Let them that make them become like to them: and all that have confidence in them.

¹⁷The house of Israel hath hoped in our Lord: he is their helper and their protector.

¹⁸The house of Aaron hath hoped in our Lord: he is their helper and their protector.

¹⁹They that fear our Lord have hoped in our Lord; he is their helper and their protector.

²⁰Our Lord hath been mindful of us: and hath blessed us. He hath blessed the house of Israel: he hath blessed the house of Aaron.

²¹He hath blessed all that fear our Lord, the little with the great.

²²Our Lord add upon you: upon you, & upon your children.

²³Blessed be you of our Lord, which made heaven and earth.

²⁴The heaven of heaven is to our Lord: but the earth he hath given to the children of men.

²⁵The dead shall not praise thee, o Lord: nor all they that go down into hell:

²⁶but we that live do bless our Lord, from this time, and for ever.
