Psalms 113

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

Hallelujah. Praise, O ye 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 from this time forth 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 thereof the LORD'S name is to be praised.

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

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

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

Who is like unto the LORD our God, that is enthroned on high,

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

That looketh down low upon heaven and upon the earth?

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

Who raiseth up the poor out of the dust, and lifteth up the needy out of the dunghill;

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

That He may set him with princes, even 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 the barren woman to dwell in her house as a joyful mother of children. Hallelujah.
