(Read by Sharona)

113:1 Praise Yah! Praise, you servants of Yahweh, praise the name of Yahweh.

113:2 Blessed be the name of Yahweh, from this time forth and forevermore.

113:3 From the rising of the sun to the going down of the same, Yahweh's name is to be praised.

113:4 Yahweh is high above all nations, his glory above the heavens.

113:5 Who is like Yahweh, our God, who has his seat on high,

113:6 Who stoops down to see in heaven and in the earth?

113:7 He raises up the poor out of the dust. Lifts up the needy from the ash heap;

113:8 that he may set him with princes, even with the princes of his people.

113:9 He settles the barren woman in her home, as a joyful mother of children. Praise Yah!

108:1 My heart is steadfast, God.

I will sing and I will make music with my soul.

108:2 Wake up, harp and lyre! I will wake up the dawn.

108:3 I will give thanks to you, Yahweh, among the nations.

I will sing praises to you among the peoples.

108:4 For your loving kindness is great above the heavens.

Your faithfulness reaches to the skies.

108:5 Be exalted, God, above the heavens!

Let your glory be over all the earth.

108:6 That your beloved may be delivered, save with your right hand, and answer us.

108:7 God has spoken from his sanctuary:

"In triumph, I will divide Shechem, and measure out the valley of Succoth.

108:8 Gilead is mine. Manasseh is mine.

Ephraim also is my helmet. Judah is my scepter.

108:9 Moab is my wash pot. I will toss my sandal on Edom. I will shout over Philistia."

108:10 Who will bring me into the fortified city? Who has led me to Edom?

108:11 Haven't you rejected us, God?

You don't go forth, God, with our armies.

108:12 Give us help against the enemy, for the help of man is vain.

108:13 Through God, we will do valiantly.

For it is he who will tread down our enemies.

(as read by Mary)

97:1 Yahweh reigns! Let the earth rejoice! Let the multitude of islands be glad! 97:2 Clouds and darkness are around him. Righteousness and justice are the foundation of his throne. 97:3 A fire goes before him, and burns up his adversaries on every side. 97:4 His lightning lights up the world. The earth sees, and trembles. 97:5 The mountains melt like wax at the presence of Yahweh, at the presence of the Lord of the whole earth. 97:6 The heavens declare his righteousness. All the peoples have seen his glory.

97:7 Let all them be shamed who serve engraved images, who boast in their idols. Worship him, all you gods! 97:8 Zion heard and was glad. The daughters of Judah rejoiced, because of your judgments, Yahweh. 97:9 For you, Yahweh, are most high above all the earth. You are exalted far above all gods. 97:10 You who love Yahweh, hate evil. He preserves the souls of his saints. He delivers them out of the hand of the wicked. 97:11 Light is sown for the righteous, and gladness for the upright in heart. 97:12 Be glad in Yahweh, you righteous people! Give thanks to his holy Name.
