Psalms 113

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

Alleluia. Praise the Lord, you servants [of his], praise, the name of the Lord.

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

Let the name of the Lord be blessed, from this present time 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 to his setting, the name of the Lord is to be praised.

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

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

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

Who is as the Lord our God? who dwells in the high places,

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

and [yet] looks upon the low things in heaven, and on the earth:

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

who lifts up the poor from the earth, and raises up the needy from the dunghill;

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

to 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 settles the barren [woman] in a house, [as] a mother rejoicing over children.
