Psalms 113

1 Let the Lord be praised. O you servants of the Lord, give praise to the name of the Lord.

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

2 Let blessing be on the name of the Lord, from this time and for ever.

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

3 From the coming up of the sun to its going down, the Lord's name is to be praised.

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

4 The Lord is high over all nations, and his glory is higher than the heavens.

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

5 Who is like the Lord our God, who is seated on high,

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

6 Looking down on the heavens, and on the earth?

He humbles Himself to behold the heavens and the earth.

7 He takes the poor man out of the dust, lifting him up from his low position;

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

8 To give him a place among the rulers, even with the rulers of his people.

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

9 He gives the unfertile woman a family, making her a happy mother of children. Give praise to the Lord.

He settles the barren woman in her home as a joyful mother to her children. Hallelujah!
