The Psalms 135
He has provided food for those who honour him;
he will remember his covenant for ever.
He showed his people the power of his works,
when he gave them the lands of other nations.
His hands work truth and justice;
all his commands can be trusted.
They will be upheld for ever,
constructed with truth and right thinking.
He set up a rescue for his people;
he ordered his covenant to stand for ever;
his name is holy and held in awe.
The root of wisdom is to hold the LORD in awe;
there is a life of good sense for all who keep his commands.
His praise will go on for ever.Psalm 113
Hallelujah!
Praise, servants of the LORD,
praise the name of the LORD.The name of the LORD will be praised
from now on and for ever.
The name of the LORD is praised
from sunrise to sunset.
The LORD is raised over all nations;
his glory is above the heavens.Who is like the LORD our God,
the one who lives high above?
He comes down low to see the heavens and the earth.
He raises the wretched from the dust,
the hopeless from the ash heap,
to sit them down with rulers – with the rulers of his people.
He sits the childless woman of the family at home
as a happy mother of children.
Hallelujah!
