The Psalter for Day 23, Evening


Psalm 114

The One Hundred Fourteenth Psalm

In exitu Israel.


WHEN Israel came out of Egypt, * and the house of Jacob from among the strange people,
 
Judah was his sanctuary, * and Israel his dominion.
 
The sea saw that, and fled; * Jordan was driven back.
 
The mountains skipped like rams, * and the little hills like young sheep.
 
What aileth thee, O thou sea, that thou fleddest? * and thou Jordan, that thou wast driven back?
 
Ye mountains, that ye skipped like rams? * and ye little hills, like young sheep?
 
Tremble, thou earth, at the presence of the Lord: * at the presence of the God of Jacob;
 
Who turned the hard rock into a standing water, * and the flint-stone into a springing well.

Psalm 115

The One Hundred Fifteenth Psalm

Non nobis, Domine.


NOT unto us, O LORD, not unto us, but unto thy Name give the praise; * for thy loving mercy, and for thy truth's sake.
 
Wherefore shall the heathen say, * Where is now their God?
 
As for our God, he is in heaven: * he hath done whatsoever pleased him.
 
Their idols are silver and gold, * even the work of men's hands.
 
They have mouths, and speak not; * eyes have they, and see not.
 
They have ears, and hear not; * noses have they, and smell not.
 
They have hands, and handle not; feet have they, and walk not; * neither speak they through their throat.
 
They that make them are like unto them; * and so are all such as put their trust in them.
 
But thou, house of Israel, trust thou in the LORD; * he is their helper and defender.
 
Ye house of Aaron, put your trust in the LORD; * he is their helper and defender.
 
Ye that fear the LORD, put your trust in the LORD; * he is their helper and defender.
 
The LORD hath been mindful of us, and he shall bless us; * even he shall bless the house of Israel, he shall bless the house of Aaron.
 
He shall bless them that fear the LORD, * both small and great.
 
The LORD shall increase you more and more, * you and your children.
 
Ye are the blessed of the LORD, * who made heaven and earth.
 
All the whole heavens are the LORD'S; * the earth hath he given to the children of men.
 
The dead praise not thee, O LORD, * neither all they that go down into silence.
 
But we will praise the LORD, * from this time forth for evermore. Praise the LORD.
