They have mouths, but they speak not: eyes have they, but they see not:
[6] They have ears, but they
hear not: noses have they, but they smell not:
[7] They have hands, but they handle not: feet have they,
but they walk not: neither speak they through their throat.
[8] They that make them are like unto them; so
is every one that trusteth in them.
[9] O Israel, trust thou in the LORD: he is their help and their shield.
[10]
O house of Aaron, trust in the LORD: he is their help and their shield.
[11] Ye that fear the LORD, trust
in the LORD: he is their help and their shield.
[12] The LORD hath been 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 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 blessed of the LORD which made heaven and earth.
[16] The heaven, even the heavens, are the
LORD's: but the earth hath he given to the children of men.
[17] The dead praise not the LORD, neither
any that go down into silence.
[18] But we will bless the LORD from this time forth and for evermore.
Praise the LORD.
Pss.116
[1] I love the LORD, because he hath heard my voice and my supplications.
[2] Because he hath inclined
his ear unto me, therefore will I call upon him as long as I live.
[3] The sorrows of death compassed me,
and the pains of hell gat hold upon me: I found trouble and sorrow.
[4] Then called I upon the name of
the LORD; O LORD, I beseech thee, deliver my soul.
[5] Gracious is the LORD, and righteous; yea, our
God is merciful.
[6] The LORD preserveth the simple: I was brought low, and he helped me.
[7] Return
unto thy rest, O my soul; for the LORD hath dealt bountifully with thee.
[8] For thou hast delivered my
soul from death, mine eyes from tears, and my feet from falling.
[9] I will walk before the LORD in the
land of the living.
[10] I believed, therefore have I spoken: I was greatly afflicted:
[11] I said in my haste, All
men are liars.
[12] What shall I render unto the LORD for all his benefits toward me?
[13] I will take the
cup of salvation, and call upon the name of the LORD.
[14] I will pay my vows unto the LORD now in the
presence of all his people.
[15] Precious in the sight of the LORD is the death of his saints.
[16] O LORD,
truly I am thy servant; I am thy servant, and the son of thine handmaid: thou hast loosed my bonds.
[17]
I will offer to thee the sacrifice of thanksgiving, and will call upon the name of the LORD.
[18] I will pay
my vows unto the LORD now in the presence of all his people,
[19] In the courts of the LORD's house, in
the midst of thee, O Jerusalem. Praise ye the LORD.
Pss.117
[1] O praise the LORD, all ye nations: praise him, all ye people.
[2] For his merciful kindness is great
toward us: and the truth of the LORD endureth for ever. Praise ye the LORD.
Pss.118
[1] O give thanks unto the LORD; for he is good: because his mercy endureth for ever.
[2] Let Israel now
say, that his mercy endureth for ever.
[3] Let the house of Aaron now say, that his mercy endureth for
ever.
[4] Let them now that fear the LORD say, that his mercy endureth for ever.
[5] I called upon the
LORD in distress: the LORD answered me, and set me in a large place.
[6] The LORD is on my side; I
will not fear: what can man do unto me?
[7] The LORD taketh my part with them that help me: therefore
shall I see my desire upon them that hate me.
[8] It is better to trust in the LORD than to put confidence
in man.
[9] It is better to trust in the LORD than to put confidence in princes.
[10] All nations compassed
me about: but in the name of the LORD will I destroy them.
[11] They compassed me about; yea, they
compassed me about: but in the name of the LORD I will destroy them.
[12] They compassed me about
like bees; they are quenched as the fire of thorns: for in the name of the LORD I will destroy them.
[13]
Thou hast thrust sore at me that I might fall: but the LORD helped me.
[14] The LORD is my strength and
song, and is become my salvation.
[15] The voice of rejoicing and salvation is in the tabernacles of the
righteous: the right hand of the LORD doeth valiantly.
[16] The right hand of the LORD is exalted: the right
hand of the LORD doeth valiantly.
[17] I shall not die, but live, and declare the works of the LORD.
[18]
The LORD hath chastened me sore: but he hath not given me over unto death.
[19] Open to me the gates
of righteousness: I will go into them, and I will praise the LORD:
[20] This gate of the LORD, into which
