Psalms 113

1 Alleluia. Praise the Lord, children. Praise the name of the Lord.

Praise ye Yah! Praise, O ye servants of Yahweh, Praise the Name of Yahweh;

2 Blessed is the name of the Lord, from this time forward and even forever.

Be the Name of Yahweh blessed, henceforth, even to times age-abiding.

3 From the rising of the sun, even to its setting, praiseworthy is the name of the Lord.

From the rising of the sun unto the going in thereof, Worthy to be praised, is the Name of Yahweh:

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

High above all nations, is Yahweh, Above the heavens, his glory.

5 Who is like the Lord, our God, who dwells on high,

Who is like Yahweh our God? that goeth on high to dwell,

6 and who gazes upon the humble things in heaven and on earth?

That cometh down low to look, through the heavens and through the earth;

7 He lifts up the needy from the ground, and he urges the poor away from filth,

That raiseth, out of the dust, the poor, From the dunghill, uplifteth the needy;

8 so that he may place him with the leaders, with the leaders of his people.

To give a seat with nobles, with the nobles of his people!

9 He causes a barren woman to live in a house, as the joyful mother of sons.

Causing the barren woman to dwell in a household, A mother of sons in her joy! Praise ye Yah.
