Psalm 113

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition (DRA)

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

113 When Israel went out of Egypt,

the house of Jacob from a barbarous people:

 

² Judea made his sanctuary, Israel his dominion.

³ The sea saw and fled: Jordan was turned back.

 

⁴ The mountains skipped like rams, and the hills like the lambs of the flock.

⁵ What ailed thee, O thou sea, that thou didst flee: and thou, O Jordan, that thou wast turned back?

⁶ Ye mountains, that ye skipped like rams, and ye hills, like lambs of the flock?

⁷ At the presence of the Lord the earth was moved, at the presence of the God of Jacob:

⁸ Who turned the rock into pools of water, and the stony hill into fountains of waters.

⁹ Not to us, O Lord, not to us; but to thy name give glory.

¹⁰ For thy mercy, and for thy truth's sake: lest the gentiles should say: Where is their God?

¹¹ But our God is in heaven: he hath done all things whatsoever he would.

¹² The idols of the gentiles are silver and gold, the works of the hands of men.

¹³ They have mouths and speak not: they have eyes and see not.

¹⁴ They have ears and hear not: they have noses and smell not.

¹⁵ They have hands and feel not: they have feet and walk not: neither shall they cry out through their throat.

 

¹⁶ Let them that make them become like unto them: and all such as trust in them.

¹⁷ The house of Israel hath hoped in the Lord: he is their helper and their protector.

¹⁸ The house of Aaron hath hoped in the Lord: he is their helper and their protector.

¹⁹ They that fear the Lord hath hoped in the Lord: he is their helper and their protector.

²⁰ The Lord hath been mindful of us, and hath blessed us. He hath blessed the house of Israel: he hath blessed the house of Aaron.

²¹ He hath blessed all that fear the Lord, both little and great.

²² May the Lord add blessings upon you: upon you, and upon your children.

²³ Blessed be you of the Lord, who made heaven and earth.

²⁴ The heaven of heaven is the Lord's: but the earth he has given to the children of men.

²⁵ The dead shall not praise thee, O Lord: nor any of them that go down to hell.

²⁶ But we that live bless the Lord: from this time now and for ever.
