< Psalms 113 >
1 Alleluia. Praise the Lord, you servants [of his], praise, the name of the Lord.
Praise Yah. Praise, O ye servants of Yhwh, praise the name of Yhwh.
2 Let the name of the Lord be blessed, from this present time and for ever.
Blessed be the name of Yhwh 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 Yhwh's name is to be praised.
4 The Lord is high above all the nations; his glory is above the heavens.
Yhwh is high above all nations, and his glory above the heavens.
5 Who is as the Lord our God? who dwells in the high places,
Who is like unto Yhwh our God, who dwelleth on high,
6 and [yet] looks upon the low things in heaven, and on the earth:
Who humbleth himself to behold the things that are in heaven, and in 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, and lifteth the needy out of the dunghill;
8 to set him with princes, [even] with the princes of his people:
That he may set him with princes, even with the princes 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, and to be a joyful mother of children. Hallelu jah.
