Psalms 113

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

Hallelujah. Praise, O ye servants of the LORD, praise 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 this time forth 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 thereof the LORD'S name is to be praised.

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

The LORD is high above all nations, His glory is above the heavens.

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

Who is like unto the LORD our God, that is enthroned on high,

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

That looketh down low upon heaven and upon the earth?

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

Who raiseth up the poor out of the dust, and lifteth up the needy out of the dunghill;

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

That He may set him with princes, even 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 the barren woman to dwell in her house as a joyful mother of children. Hallelujah.
