Psalms 113

1 Alleluia. Praise the Lord, you servants [of his], praise, the name of the Lord.

Hallelujah! Praise, ye servants of Jehovah, praise the name of Jehovah.

2 Let the name of the Lord be blessed, from this present time and for ever.

Blessed be the name of Jehovah, from this time forth and for evermore!

3 From the rising of the sun to his setting, the name of the Lord is to be praised.

From the rising of the sun unto the going down of the same, let Jehovah's name be praised.

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

Jehovah is high above all nations, his glory above the heavens.

5 Who is as the Lord our God? who dwells in the high places,

Who is like unto Jehovah our God, who hath placed his dwelling on high;

6 and [yet] looks upon the low things in heaven, and on the earth:

Who humbleth himself to look on the heavens and on the earth?

7 who lifts up the poor from the earth, and raises up the needy from the dunghill;

He raiseth up the poor out of the dust; from the dung-hill he lifteth up the needy,

8 to set him with princes, [even] with the princes of his people:

To set [him] among nobles, among the nobles of his people.

9 who settles the barren [woman] in a house, [as] a mother rejoicing over children.

He maketh the barren woman to keep house, [as] a joyful mother of sons. Hallelujah!
