Psalms 113

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

Praise Yahweh. Praise him, you servants of Yahweh; praise the name of Yahweh.

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

Blessed be the name of Yahweh, both now and forevermore.

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 to its setting, Yahweh's name should be praised.

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

Yahweh is exalted above all nations, and his glory reaches above the skies.

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

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

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

who looks down at the sky and at the earth?

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

He raises up the poor out of the dirt and lifts up the needy from the ash heap,

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

so that he may seat him with princes, with the princes of his people.

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

He gives a home to the barren woman of the house, he makes her a joyful mother of children. Praise Yahweh!
