Psalm 113
Laudate, pueri
1
Praise the Lord, ye servants *
O praise the Name of the Lord.
2
Blessed be the Name of the Lord *
from this time forth for evermore.
3
The Lord’s Name is praised *
from the rising up of the sun unto the going down of the same.
4
The Lord is high above all heathen *
and his glory above the heavens.
5
Who is like unto the Lord our God, that hath his dwelling so high *
and yet humbleth himself to behold the things that are in heaven and earth?
6
He taketh up the simple out of the dust *
and lifteth the poor out of the mire;
7
That he may set him with the princes *
even with the princes of his people.
8
He maketh the barren woman to keep house *
and to be a joyful mother of children.
Psalm 115
Non nobis, Domine
1
Not unto us, O Lord, not unto us, but unto thy Name give the praise *
for thy loving mercy and for thy truth’s sake.
2
Wherefore shall the heathen say *
Where is now their God?
3
As for our God, he is in heaven *
he hath done whatsoever pleased him.
4
Their idols are silver and gold *
even the work of men’s hands.
5
They have mouths, and speak not *
eyes have they, and see not.
6
They have ears, and hear not *
noses have they, and smell not.
7
They have hands, and handle not; feet have they, and walk not *
neither speak they through their throat.
8
They that make them are like unto them *
and so are all such as put their trust in them.
9
But thou, house of Israel, trust thou in the Lord *
he is their succour and defence.
10
Ye house of Aaron, put your trust in the Lord *
he is their helper and defender.
11
Ye that fear the Lord, put your trust in the Lord *
he is their helper and defender.
12
The Lord hath been mindful of us, and he shall bless us *
even he shall bless the house of Israel, he shall bless the house of Aaron.
13
He shall bless them that fear the Lord *
both small and great.
14
The Lord shall increase you more and more *
you and your children.
15
Ye are the blessed of the Lord *
who made heaven and earth.
16
All the whole heavens are the Lord’s *
the earth hath he given to the children of men.
17
The dead praise not thee, O Lord *
neither all they that go down into silence.
18
But we will praise the Lord *
from this time forth for evermore. Praise the Lord.
