< Psalms 113 >
1 Alleluia. Praise the Lord, children. Praise the name of the Lord.
Praise YAH! Praise, you servants of YHWH. Praise the Name of YHWH.
2 Blessed is the name of the Lord, from this time forward and even forever.
The Name of YHWH is blessed, From now on, and for all time.
3 From the rising of the sun, even to its setting, praiseworthy is the name of the Lord.
From the rising of the sun to its going in, The Name of YHWH [is] praised.
4 The Lord is high above all nations, and his glory is high above the heavens.
YHWH [is] high above all nations, His glory [is] above the heavens.
5 Who is like the Lord, our God, who dwells on high,
Who [is] as our God YHWH, He is exalting [Himself] to sit?
6 and who gazes upon the humble things in heaven and on earth?
He is humbling [Himself] to look On the heavens and on the earth.
7 He lifts up the needy from the ground, and he urges the poor away from filth,
He is raising up the poor from the dust, He exalts the needy from a dunghill.
8 so that he may place him with the leaders, with the leaders of his people.
To cause [them] to sit with princes, With the princes of His people.
9 He causes a barren woman to live in a house, as the joyful mother of sons.
Causing the barren one of the house to sit, A joyful mother of sons; praise YAH!
