The Blessings of the Righteous, Praise for God’s Greatness, and the Exodus from Egypt
Psalm 112
1 Praise Yah! Blessed is the man who fears Yahweh, who delights greatly in his commandments.
2 His offspring will be mighty in the land. The generation of the upright will be blessed.
3 Wealth and riches are in his house. His righteousness endures forever.
4 Light dawns in the darkness for the upright, gracious, merciful, and righteous.
5 It is well with the man who deals graciously and lends. He will maintain his cause in judgment.
6 For he will never be shaken. The righteous will be remembered forever.
7 He will not be afraid of evil news. His heart is steadfast, trusting in Yahweh.
8 His heart is established. He will not be afraid, until he sees his desire on his adversaries.
9 He has dispersed, he has given to the poor. His righteousness endures forever. His horn will be exalted with honor.
10 The wicked will see it, and be grieved. He shall gnash with his teeth, and melt away. The desire of the wicked will perish.
Psalm 113
1 Praise Yah! Praise, you servants of Yahweh, praise Yahweh’s name.
2 Blessed be Yahweh’s name, from this time forward and forevermore.
3 From the rising of the sun to its going down, Yahweh’s name is to be praised.
4 Yahweh is high above all nations, his glory above the heavens.
5 Who is like Yahweh, our God, who has his seat on high,
6 who stoops down to see in heaven and in the earth?
7 He raises up the poor out of the dust, and lifts up the needy from the ash heap;
8 that he may set him with princes, even with the princes of his people.
9 He settles the barren woman in her home, as a joyful mother of children. Praise Yah!
Psalm 114
1 When Israel went out of Egypt, the house of Jacob from a people of foreign language,
2 Judah became his sanctuary, Israel his dominion.
3 The sea saw it, and fled. The Jordan was driven back.
4 The mountains skipped like rams, the little hills like lambs.
5 What was it, you sea, that you fled? You Jordan, that you turned back?
6 You mountains, that you skipped like rams; you little hills, like lambs?
7 Tremble, you earth, at the presence of the Lord, at the presence of the God of Jacob,
8 who turned the rock into a pool of water, the flint into a spring of waters.
