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 ye 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 time forth and for evermore.

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

From the rising of the sun unto his going down the name of the Lord is praised.

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

High above all nations is the Lord, above the heavens is his glory.

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

Who is like the Lord our God, who dwelleth on high?

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

Who condescendeth to view what is done in the heavens, and on the earth?

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

He raiseth up out of the dust the poor, from the dunghill he lifteth up the needy:

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!

He causeth the barren woman to dwell in the midst of [her] household, the joyful mother of children. Hallelujah.
