PSALM CXIII

Leader:

HALLELUJAH.

Praise, O ye servants of the Lord,
Praise the name of the Lord.

Company:

Blessed be the name of the Lord
From this time forth and for ever.

Leader:

From the rising of the sun unto the going down thereof
The Lord's name is to be praised.

Company:

The Lord is high above all nations,
His glory is above the heavens.

Leader:

Who is like unto the Lord our God,
That is enthroned on high,

Company:

That looketh down low
Upon heaven and upon earth?

Leader:

Who raiseth up the poor out of the dust,
And lifteth up the needy out of the dunghill;

Company:

That He may set him with princes,
Even with the princes of His people.

Leader:

Who maketh the barren woman to dwell in her house
As a joyful mother of children.

Company:

Hallelujah.

PSALM CXIV

Leader:

WHEN Israel came forth out of Egypt,
The house of Jacob from a people of strange language;

Company:

Judah became His sanctuary,
Israel His dominion.

Leader:

The sea saw it, and fled;
The Jordan turned backward.

Company:

The mountains skipped like rams,
The hills like young sheep,

Leader:

What aileth thee, O thou sea, that thou fleest?
Thou Jordan, that thou turnest backward?

Company:

Ye mountains that ye skip like rams;
Ye hills, like young sheep?

Leader:

Tremble, thou earth, at the presence of the Lord,
At the presence of the God of Jacob;

Company:

Who turned the rock into a pool of water,
The flint into a fountain of waters.
