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. Praise, you 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 forevermore.

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 to the going down of the same, 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 above the heavens.

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

Who is like the LORD, our God, who has his seat on high,

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

Who stoops down to see in heaven and in the earth?

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

He raises up the poor out of the dust. Lifts up the needy from the ash heap;

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.

He settles the barren woman in her home, as a joyful mother of children. Praise the LORD.
