Psalms 113

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

Praise ye the LORD! 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, even 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 its going down, May the LORD'S name 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 the LORD, our God, That dwelleth on high,

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

That looketh down low Upon the heavens and the earth?

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

He raiseth the poor from the dust, And exalteth the needy from the dunghill,

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

To set him among princes, Even among 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 a house, A joyful mother of children. Praise ye the LORD!
