< Psalms 113 >
1 Hallelujah! Give praise, O servants of the LORD; praise the name of the LORD.
Praise JAH. Praise, you servants of Jehovah, praise the name of Jehovah.
2 Blessed be the name of the LORD both now and forevermore.
Blessed be the name of Jehovah, from this time forth and forevermore.
3 From where the sun rises to where it sets, the name of the LORD is praised.
From the rising of the sun to the going down of the same, Jehovah's name is to be praised.
4 The LORD is exalted over all the nations, His glory above the heavens.
Jehovah is high above all nations, his glory above the heavens.
5 Who is like the LORD our God, the One enthroned on high?
Who is like Jehovah, our God, who has his seat on high,
6 He humbles Himself to behold the heavens and the earth.
Who stoops down to see in heaven and in the earth?
7 He raises the poor from the dust and lifts the needy from the dump
He raises up the poor out of the dust. Lifts up the needy from the ash heap;
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 settles the barren woman in her home, as a joyful mother of children. Praise JAH.
