Psalm 115-118 (Show Context)

115:1 Not to us, O LORD, not to us, but to Your name be the glory, because of Your loving devotion, because of Your faithfulness. 2 Why should the nations say, Where is their God?” 3 Our God is in heaven; He does as He pleases. 4 Their idols are silver and gold, made by the hands of men. 5 They have mouths, but cannot speak; they have eyes, but cannot see; 6 they have ears, but cannot hear; they have noses, but cannot smell; 7 they have hands, but cannot feel; they have feet, but cannot walk; they cannot even clear their throats. 8 Those who make them become like them, as do all who trust in them. 9 O Israel, trust in the LORD! He is their help and shield. 10 O house of Aaron, trust in the LORD! He is their help and shield. 11 You who fear the LORD, trust in the LORD! He is their help and shield. 12 The LORD is 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 those who fear the LORD small and great alike. 14 May the LORD give you increase, both you and your children. 15 May you be blessed by the LORD, the Maker of heaven and earth. 16 The highest heavens belong to the LORD, but the earth He has given to mankind. 17 It is not the dead who praise the LORD, nor any who descend into silence. 18 But it is we who will bless the LORD, both now and forevermore. Hallelujah!

116:1 I love the LORD, for He has heard my voice my appeal for mercy. 2 Because He has inclined His ear to me, I will call on Him as long as I live. 3 The ropes of death entangled me; the anguish of Sheol overcame me; I was confronted by trouble and sorrow. 4 Then I called on the name of the LORD: O LORD, deliver my soul!” 5 The LORD is gracious and righteous; our God is full of compassion. 6 The LORD preserves the simplehearted; I was helpless, and He saved me. 7 Return to your rest, O my soul, for the LORD has been good to you. 8 For You have delivered my soul from death, my eyes from tears, my feet from stumbling. 9 I will walk before the LORD in the land of the living. 10 I believed, therefore I said, I am greatly afflicted.” 11 In my alarm I said, All men are liars!” 12 How can I repay the LORD for all His goodness to me? 13 I will lift the cup of salvation and call on the name of the LORD. 14 I will fulfill my vows to the LORD in the presence of all His people. 15 Precious in the sight of the LORD is the death of His saints. 16 Truly, O LORD, I am Your servant; I am Your servant, the son of Your maidservant; You have broken my bonds. 17 I will offer to You a sacrifice of thanksgiving and call on the name of the LORD. 18 I will fulfill my vows to the LORD in the presence of all His people, 19 in the courts of the LORD’s house, in your midst, O Jerusalem. Hallelujah!

117:1 Praise the LORD, all you nations! Extol Him, all you peoples! 2 For great is His loving devotion toward us, and the faithfulness of the LORD endures forever. Hallelujah!

118:1 Give thanks to the LORD, for He is good; His loving devotion endures forever. 2 Let Israel say, His loving devotion endures forever.” 3 Let the house of Aaron say, His loving devotion endures forever.” 4 Let those who fear the LORD say, His loving devotion endures forever.” 5 In my distress I called to the LORD, and He answered and set me free. 6 The LORD is on my side; I will not be afraid. What can man do to me? 7 The LORD is on my side; He is my helper. Therefore I will look in triumph on those who hate me. 8 It is better to take refuge in the LORD than to trust in man. 9 It is better to take refuge in the LORD than to trust in princes. 10 All the nations surrounded me, but in the name of the LORD I cut them off. 11 They surrounded me on every side, but in the name of the LORD I cut them off. 12 They swarmed around me like bees, but they were extinguished like burning thorns; in the name of the LORD I cut them off. 13 I was pushed so hard I was falling, but the LORD helped me. 14 The LORD is my strength and my song, and He has become my salvation. 15 Shouts of joy and salvation resound in the tents of the righteous: The right hand of the LORD performs with valor! 16 The right hand of the LORD is exalted! The right hand of the LORD performs with valor!” 17 I will not die, but I will live and proclaim what the LORD has done. 18 The LORD disciplined me severely, but He has not given me over to death. 19 Open to me the gates of righteousness, that I may enter and give thanks to the LORD. 20 This is the gate of the LORD; the righteous shall enter through it. 21 I will give You thanks, for You have answered me, and You have become my salvation. 22 The stone the builders rejected has become the cornerstone. 23 This is from the LORD, and it is marvelous in our eyes. 24 This is the day that the LORD has made; we will rejoice and be glad in it. 25 O LORD, save us, we pray. We beseech You, O LORD, cause us to prosper! 26 Blessed is he who comes in the name of the LORD. From the house of the LORD we bless you. 27 The LORD is God; He has made His light to shine upon us. Bind the festal sacrifice with cords to the horns of the altar. 28 You are my God, and I will give You thanks. You are my God, and I will exalt You. 29 Give thanks to the LORD, for He is good; His loving devotion endures forever.
