Psalms 113

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

Alleluya. Children, preise ye the Lord; preise ye the name of the Lord.

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

The name of the Lord be blessid; fro this tyme now and til in to the world.

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

Fro the risyng of the sunne til to the goyng doun; the name of the Lord is worthi to be preisid.

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

The Lord is hiy aboue alle folkis; and his glorie is aboue heuenes.

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

Who is as oure Lord God, that dwellith in hiye thingis;

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

and biholdith meke thingis in heuene and in erthe?

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

Reisynge a nedi man fro the erthe; and enhaunsinge a pore man fro drit.

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

That he sette hym with princes; with the princes of his puple.

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

Which makith a bareyn womman dwelle in the hous; a glad modir of sones.
