Psalms 113

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

Praise the Lord, ye children: praise ye 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, from henceforth now and for ever.

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

From the rising of the sun unto the going down of the same, the name of the Lord is worthy of praise.

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

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

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

Who is as the Lord our God, who dwelleth on high:

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

And looketh down on the low things in heaven and in earth?

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

Raising up the needy from the earth, and lifting up the poor out of the dunghill:

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

That he may place him with princes, 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.

Who maketh a barren woman to dwell in a house, the joyful mother of children.
