What shall I give to Yahweh in return
For all His bountiful dealings with me?
I shall lift up the cup of salvation
And call upon the name of Yahweh.
I shall pay my vows to Yahweh,
Oh may it be in the presence of all His people.
Precious in the sight of Yahweh
Is the death of His holy ones.
O Yahweh, surely I am Your slave,
I am Your slave, the son of Your maidservant,
You have loosed my bonds.
To You I shall offer a sacrifice of thanksgiving,
And call upon the name of Yahweh.
I shall pay my vows to Yahweh,
Oh may it be in the presence of all His people,
In the courts of the house of Yahweh,
In the midst of you, O Jerusalem.
Praise Yah!
April 25: Psalm 115; 2Samuel 22
Not to us, O Yahweh, not to us,
But to Your name give glory
Because of Your lovingkindness, because of Your truth.
Why should the nations say,
“Where, now, is their God?”
But our God is in the heavens;
He does whatever He pleases.
•••
He will bless those who fear Yahweh,
The small together with the great.
May Yahweh give you increase,
You and your children.
May you be blessed of Yahweh,
Who made heaven and earth.
April 24: Psalm 114; 2Samuel 20-21
Tremble, O earth, before the Lord,
Before the God of Jacob,
Who turned the rock into a pool of water,
The flint into a spring of water.
April 23: Psalm 113; 2Samuel 18-19
Praise Yah!
Praise, O slaves of Yahweh,
Praise the name of Yahweh.
May the name of Yahweh be blessed
From now until forever.
From the rising of the sun to its setting
The name of Yahweh is to be praised.
Yahweh is high above all nations;
His glory is above the heavens.
Who is like Yahweh our God,
The One who sits on high,
The One who brings Himself low to see
The things in heaven and on the earth?
Who raises the poor from the dust
And lifts high the needy from the ash heap,
To make them sit with nobles,
With the nobles of His people.
He makes the barren woman of the house sit
As a glad mother of children.
Praise Yah!
April 22: Psalm 112; 2Samuel 15-17
Praise Yah!
How blessed is the man who fears Yahweh,
Who greatly delights in His commandments.
April 21: Psalm 111; 2Samuel 13-14
The fear of Yahweh is the beginning of wisdom;
April 20: Psalm 110; 2Samuel 10-12
Yahweh says to my Lord:
“Sit at My right hand
Until I put Your enemies as a footstool for Your feet.”
Yahweh will stretch forth Your strong scepter from Zion, saying,
“Have dominion in the midst of Your enemies.”
Your people will offer themselves freely in the day of Your power;
In the splendor of holiness, from the womb of the dawn,
The dew of Your youthfulness will be Yours.
Yahweh has sworn and will not change His mind,
“You are a priest forever
According to the order of Melchizedek.”
The Lord is at Your right hand;
He will crush kings in the day of His anger.
He will render justice among the nations
April 19: Psalm 109; 2Samuel 6-9
With my mouth I will give thanks abundantly to Yahweh;
And in the midst of many I will praise Him.
For He stands at the right hand of the needy,
To save him from those who judge his soul.
April 18: Psalm 108; 2Samuel 3:6-5
My heart is set, O God;
I will sing, I will sing praises, even with my glory.
Awake, harp and lyre;
I will awaken the dawn!
I will give thanks to You, O Yahweh, among the peoples,
And I will sing praises to You among the nations.
For Your lovingkindness is great above the heavens,
And Your truth reaches to the skies.
Be exalted above the heavens, O God,
And Your glory above all the earth.
April 17: Psalm 107; 2Samuel 1-3:5
Let them give thanks to Yahweh for His lovingkindness,
And for His wondrous deeds to the sons of men!
Let them also offer sacrifices of thanksgiving,
And recount His works with joyful singing.
