Psalm 115
- 1
- Psalm 115
- 1
- Not to us, O LORD, not to us but to your name be the glory, because of your love and faithfulness.
- 2
- Why do the nations say, "Where is their God?"
- 3
- Our God is in heaven; he does whatever pleases him.
- 4
- But their idols are silver and gold, made by the hands of men.
- 5
- They have mouths, but cannot speak, eyes, but they cannot see;
- 6
- they have ears, but cannot hear, noses, but they cannot smell;
- 7
- they have hands, but cannot feel, feet, but they cannot walk; nor can they utter a sound with their throats.
- 8
- Those who make them will be like them, and so will all who trust in them.
- 9
- O house of 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 him, trust in the LORD-- he is their help and shield.
- 12
- The LORD remembers us and 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 make 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 man.
- 17
- It is not the dead who praise the LORD, those who go down to silence;
- 18
- it is we who extol the LORD, both now and forevermore. Praise the LORD.
Psalm 121
- 1
- Psalm 121 A song of ascents.
- 1
- I lift up my eyes to the hills-- where does my help come from?
- 2
- My help comes from the LORD, the Maker of heaven and earth.
- 3
- He will not let your foot slip-- he who watches over you will not slumber;
- 4
- indeed, he who watches over Israel will neither slumber nor sleep.
- 5
- The LORD watches over you-- the LORD is your shade at your right hand;
- 6
- the sun will not harm you by day, nor the moon by night.
- 7
- The LORD will keep you from all harm-- he will watch over your life;
- 8
- the LORD will watch over your coming and going both now and forevermore.
Psalm 130
- 1
- Psalm 130 A song of ascents.
- 1
- Out of the depths I cry to you, O LORD;
- 2
- O Lord, hear my voice. Let your ears be attentive to my cry for mercy.
- 3
- If you, O LORD, kept a record of sins, O Lord, who could stand?
- 4
- But with you there is forgiveness; therefore you are feared.
- 5
- I wait for the LORD, my soul waits, and in his word I put my hope.
- 6
- My soul waits for the Lord more than watchmen wait for the morning, more than watchmen wait for the morning.
- 7
- O Israel, put your hope in the LORD, for with the LORD is unfailing love and with him is full redemption.
- 8
- He himself will redeem Israel from all their sins.
Psalm 2
- 1
- Psalm 2
- 1
- Why do the nations conspire [1] and the peoples plot in vain?
- 2
- The kings of the earth take their stand and the rulers gather together against the LORD and against his Anointed One. [2]
- 3
- "Let us break their chains," they say, "and throw off their fetters."
- 4
- The One enthroned in heaven laughs; the Lord scoffs at them.
- 5
- Then he rebukes them in his anger and terrifies them in his wrath, saying,
- 6
- "I have installed my King [3] on Zion, my holy hill."
- 7
- I will proclaim the decree of the LORD: He said to me, "You are my Son [4] ; today I have become your Father. [5]
- 8
- Ask of me, and I will make the nations your inheritance, the ends of the earth your possession.
- 9
- You will rule them with an iron scepter [6] ; you will dash them to pieces like pottery."
- 10
- Therefore, you kings, be wise; be warned, you rulers of the earth.
- 11
- Serve the LORD with fear and rejoice with trembling.
- 12
- Kiss the Son, lest he be angry and you be destroyed in your way, for his wrath can flare up in a moment. Blessed are all who take refuge in him.

- 2
- Praise him for his acts of power; praise him for his surpassing greatness.
- 3
- Praise him with the sounding of the trumpet, praise him with the harp and lyre,
- 4
- praise him with tambourine and dancing, praise him with the strings and flute,
- 5
- praise him with the clash of cymbals, praise him with resounding cymbals.
- 6
- Let everything that has breath praise the LORD. Praise the LORD.
Psalm 62
- 1
- Psalm 62 For the director of music. For Jeduthun. A psalm of David.
- 1
- My soul finds rest in God alone; my salvation comes from him.
- 2
- He alone is my rock and my salvation; he is my fortress, I will never be shaken.
- 3
- How long will you assault a man? Would all of you throw him down-- this leaning wall, this tottering fence?
- 4
- They fully intend to topple him from his lofty place; they take delight in lies. With their mouths they bless, but in their hearts they curse. Selah
- 5
- Find rest, O my soul, in God alone; my hope comes from him.
- 6
- He alone is my rock and my salvation; he is my fortress, I will not be shaken.
- 7
- My salvation and my honor depend on God [1] ; he is my mighty rock, my refuge.
- 8
- Trust in him at all times, O people; pour out your hearts to him, for God is our refuge. Selah
- 9
- Lowborn men are but a breath, the highborn are but a lie; if weighed on a balance, they are nothing; together they are only a breath.
- 10
- Do not trust in extortion or take pride in stolen goods; though your riches increase, do not set your heart on them.
- 11
- One thing God has spoken, two things have I heard: that you, O God, are strong,
- 12
- and that you, O Lord, are loving. Surely you will reward each person according to what he has done.
