PSALM CXIII
Leader:
 |
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.
