Psalms 112-118 - Prayer Tents

112Praise the Lord! How joyful are those who fear the Lord and delight in obeying his commands.H1984H3050H835H376H3372H3068H2654H3966H4687 2Their children will be successful everywhere; an entire generation of godly people will be blessed.H2233H1368H776H1755H3477H1288 3They themselves will be wealthy, and their good deeds will last forever.H1952H6239H1004H6666H5975H5703 4Light shines in the darkness for the godly. They are generous, compassionate, and righteous.H3477H2224H216H2822H2587H7349H6662 5Good comes to those who lend money generously and conduct their business fairly.H2896H376H2603H3867H3557H1697H4941 6Such people will not be overcome by evil. Those who are righteous will be long remembered.H4131H5769H6662H5769H2143 7They do not fear bad news; they confidently trust the Lord to care for them.H3372H7451H8052H3820H3559H982H3068 8They are confident and fearless and can face their foes triumphantly.H3820H5564H3372H7200H6862 9They share freely and give generously to those in need. Their good deeds will be remembered forever. They will have influence and honor.H6340H5414H34H6666H5975H5703H7161H7311H3519 10The wicked will see this and be infuriated. They will grind their teeth in anger; they will slink away, their hopes thwarted.H7563H7200H3707H2786H8127H4549H8378H7563H6

113Praise the Lord! Yes, give praise, O servants of the Lord. Praise the name of the Lord!H1984H3050H1984H5650H3068H1984H8034H3068 2Blessed be the name of the Lord now and forever.H1288H8034H3068H6258H5704H5769 3Everywhere—from east to west—praise the name of the Lord.H4217H8121H3996H3068H8034H1984 4For the Lord is high above the nations; his glory is higher than the heavens.H3068H7311H1471H3519H8064 5Who can be compared with the Lord our God, who is enthroned on high?H3068H430H3427H1361 6He stoops to look down on heaven and on earth.H8213H7200H8064H776 7He lifts the poor from the dust and the needy from the garbage dump.H6965H1800H6083H7311H34H830 8He sets them among princes, even the princes of his own people!H3427H5081H5081H5971 9He gives the childless woman a family, making her a happy mother. Praise the Lord!H6135H3427H1004H8056H517H1121H1984H3050

114When the Israelites escaped from Egypt—when the family of Jacob left that foreign land—H3478H3318H4714H1004H3290H5971H3937 2the land of Judah became God’s sanctuary, and Israel became his kingdom.H3063H6944H3478H4475 3The Red Sea saw them coming and hurried out of their way! The water of the Jordan River turned away.H3220H7200H5127H3383H5437H268 4The mountains skipped like rams, the hills like lambs!H2022H7540H352H1389H1121H6629 5What’s wrong, Red Sea, that made you hurry out of their way? What happened, Jordan River, that you turned away?H3220H5127H3383H5437H268 6Why, mountains, did you skip like rams? Why, hills, like lambs?H2022H7540H352H1389H1121H6629 7Tremble, O earth, at the presence of the Lord, at the presence of the God of Jacob.H2342H776H6440H113H6440H433H3290 8He turned the rock into a pool of water; yes, a spring of water flowed from solid rock.H2015H6697H98H4325H2496H4599H4325

115Not to us, O Lord, not to us, but to your name goes all the glory for your unfailing love and faithfulness.H3068H8034H5414H3519H2617H571 2Why let the nations say, “Where is their God?”H1471H559H430 3Our God is in the heavens, and he does as he wishes.H430H8064H6213H2654 4Their idols are merely things of silver and gold, shaped by human hands.H6091H3701H2091H4639H120H3027 5They have mouths but cannot speak, and eyes but cannot see.H6310H1696H5869H7200 6They have ears but cannot hear, and noses but cannot smell.H241H8085H639H7306 7They have hands but cannot feel, and feet but cannot walk, and throats but cannot make a sound.H3027H4184H7272H1980H1897H1627 8And those who make idols are just like them, as are all who trust in them.H6213H982 9O Israel, trust the Lord! He is your helper and your shield.H3478H982H3068H5828H4043 10O priests, descendants of Aaron, trust the Lord! He is your helper and your shield.H1004H175H982H3068H5828H4043 11All you who fear the Lord, trust the Lord! He is your helper and your shield.H3373H3068H982H3068H5828H4043 12The Lord remembers us and will bless us. He will bless the people of Israel and bless the priests, the descendants of Aaron.H3068H2142H1288H1288H1004H3478H1288H1004H175 13He will bless those who fear the Lord, both great and lowly.H1288H3373H3068H6996H1419 14May the Lord richly bless both you and your children.H3068H3254H1121 15May you be blessed by the Lord, who made heaven and earth.H1288H3068H6213H8064H776 16The heavens belong to the Lord, but he has given the earth to all humanity.H8064H8064H3068H776H5414H1121H120 17The dead cannot sing praises to the Lord, for they have gone into the silence of the grave.H4191H1984H3050H3381H1745 18But we can praise the Lord both now and forever! Praise the Lord!H1288H3050H5704H5769H1984H3050

116I love the Lord because he hears my voice and my prayer for mercy.H157H3068H8085H6963H8469 2Because he bends down to listen, I will pray as long as I have breath!H5186H241H7121H3117 3Death wrapped its ropes around me; the terrors of the grave overtook me. I saw only trouble and sorrow.H2256H4194H661H4712H7585H4672H4672H6869H3015 4Then I called on the name of the Lord. “Please, Lord, save me!”H7121H8034H3068H3068H577H4422H5315 5How kind the Lord is! How good he is! So merciful, this God of ours!H2587H3068H6662H430H7355 6The Lord protects those of childlike faith; I was facing death, and he saved me.H3068H8104H6612H1809H3467 7Let my soul be at rest again, for the Lord has been good to me.H7725H4494H5315H3068H1580 8He has saved me from death, my eyes from tears, my feet from stumbling.H2502H5315H4194H5869H1832H7272H1762 9And so I walk in the Lord’s presence as I live here on earth!H1980H6440H3068H776H2416 10I believed in you, so I said, “I am deeply troubled, Lord.”H539H1696H3966H6031 11In my anxiety I cried out to you, “These people are all liars!”H559H2648H120H3576 12What can I offer the Lord for all he has done for me?H7725H3068H8408 13I will lift up the cup of salvation and praise the Lord’s name for saving me.H5375H3563H3444H7121H8034H3068 14I will keep my promises to the Lord in the presence of all his people.H7999H5088H3068H5971 15The Lord cares deeply when his loved ones die.H3368H5869H3068H4194H2623 16O Lord, I am your servant; yes, I am your servant, born into your household; you have freed me from my chains.H3068H577H5650H5650H1121H519H6605H4147 17I will offer you a sacrifice of thanksgiving and call on the name of the Lord.H2076H2077H8426H7121H8034H3068 18I will fulfill my vows to the Lord in the presence of all his people—H7999H5088H3068H5971 19in the house of the Lord in the heart of Jerusalem. Praise the Lord!H2691H3068H1004H8432H3389H1984H3050
