Psalms 112

• 1. Praise the LORD! Happy are those who fear the LORD. Yes, happy are those who delight in doing what he commands.
• 2. Their children will be successful everywhere; an entire generation of godly people will be blessed.
• 3. They themselves will be wealthy, and their good deeds will never be forgotten.
• 4. When darkness overtakes the godly, light will come bursting in. They are generous, compassionate, and righteous.
• 5. All goes well for those who are generous, who lend freely and conduct their business fairly.
• 6. Such people will not be overcome by evil circumstances. Those who are righteous will be long remembered.
• 7. They do not fear bad news; they confidently trust the LORD to care for them.
• 8. They are confident and fearless and can face their foes triumphantly.
• 9. They give generously to those in need. Their good deeds will never be forgotten. They will have influence and honor.
• 10. The wicked will be infuriated when they see this. They will grind their teeth in anger; they will slink away, their hopes thwarted.

Psalms 113

• 1. Praise the LORD! Yes, give praise, O servants of the LORD. Praise the name of the LORD!
• 2. Blessed be the name of the LORD forever and ever.
• 3. Everywhere--from east to west--praise the name of the LORD.
• 4. For the LORD is high above the nations; his glory is far greater than the heavens.
• 5. Who can be compared with the LORD our God, who is enthroned on high?
• 6. Far below him are the heavens and the earth. He stoops to look,
• 7. and he lifts the poor from the dirt and the needy from the garbage dump.
• 8. He sets them among princes, even the princes of his own people!
• 9. He gives the barren woman a home, so that she becomes a happy mother. Praise the LORD!

Psalms 114

• 1. When the Israelites escaped from Egypt--when the family of Jacob left that foreign land--
• 2. the land of Judah became God's sanctuary, and Israel became his kingdom.
• 3. The Red Sea saw them coming and hurried out of their way! The water of the Jordan River turned away.
• 4. The mountains skipped like rams, the little hills like lambs!
• 5. What's wrong, Red Sea, that made you hurry out of their way? What happened, Jordan River, that you turned away?
• 6. Why, mountains, did you skip like rams? Why, little hills, like lambs?
• 7. Tremble, O earth, at the presence of the Lord, at the presence of the God of Israel.
• 8. He turned the rock into pools of water; yes, springs of water came from solid rock.
