Psalms 113

1 Hallelujah! Give praise, O servants of the LORD; praise the name of the LORD.

Praise the Lord, ye children: praise ye the name of the Lord.

2 Blessed be the name of the LORD both now and forevermore.

Blessed be the name of the Lord, from henceforth now and for ever.

3 From where the sun rises to where it sets, the name of the LORD is praised.

From the rising of the sun unto the going down of the same, the name of the Lord is worthy of praise.

4 The LORD is exalted over all the nations, His glory above the heavens.

The Lord is high above all nations; and his glory above the heavens.

5 Who is like the LORD our God, the One enthroned on high?

Who is as the Lord our God, who dwelleth on high:

6 He humbles Himself to behold the heavens and the earth.

And looketh down on the low things in heaven and in earth?

7 He raises the poor from the dust and lifts the needy from the dump

Raising up the needy from the earth, and lifting up the poor out of the dunghill:

8 to seat them with nobles, with the princes of His people.

That he may place him with princes, with the princes of his people.

9 He settles the barren woman in her home as a joyful mother to her children. Hallelujah!

Who maketh a barren woman to dwell in a house, the joyful mother of children.
