Psalms, chapter 115

1. I have believed, therefore have I spoken; but I have been humbled exceedingly.
2. I said in my excess: Every man is a liar.
3. What shall I render to the Lord, for all the things He hath rendered unto me?
4. I will take the chalice of salvation; and I will call upon the name of the Lord.
5. I will pay my vows to the Lord before all His people:
6. Precious in the sight of the Lord is the death of His saints.
7. O Lord, for I am thy servant: I am thy servant, and the son of Thy handmaid. Thou hast broken my bonds:
8. I will sacrifice to Thee the sacrifice of praise, and I will call upon the name of the Lord.
9. I will pay my vows to the Lord in the sight of all His people:
10. House of Aaron, put your trust in Yahweh!
He is their help and their shield.
11. You who fear Yahweh, put your trust in Yahweh!
He is their help and their shield.
12. Yahweh hath remembered us: He will bless!
He will bless the house of Israel;
He will bless the house of Aaron;
13. He will bless those who fear Yahweh,
the small with the great.
14. May Yahweh multiply His favors upon you,
upon you and upon your children!
15. Be blessed of Yahweh,
Who made the heavens and the earth!
16. The heavens are Yahweh’s heavens,
but He hath given the earth to the sons of men.
17. It is not the dead who praise Yahweh,
those who go down into the place of silence;
18. but we, we will bless Yahweh,
from this time forth and for ever.
Alleluia!
