Psalms 113

1 Hallelujah! Praise, ye servants of Jehovah, praise the name of Jehovah.

Hallelujah. Praise the Lord, you his servants, praise the name of the Lord.

2 Blessed be the name of Jehovah, from this time forth and for evermore!

The name of the Lord be blessed from now and for evermore.

3 From the rising of the sun unto the going down of the same, let Jehovah's name be praised.

From sunrise to sunset is the name of the Lord to be praised.

4 Jehovah is high above all nations, his glory above the heavens.

High is the Lord above all nations, above the heavens is his glory.

5 Who is like unto Jehovah our God, who hath placed his dwelling on high;

Who is like the Lord our God, seated on high?

6 Who humbleth himself to look on the heavens and on the earth?

He bends down to look at the heavens and earth.

7 He raiseth up the poor out of the dust; from the dung-hill he lifteth up the needy,

He raises the weak from the dust, he lifts the poor from the dunghill,

8 To set [him] among nobles, among the nobles of his people.

and sets them beside the princes, even the princes of his people.

9 He maketh the barren woman to keep house, [as] a joyful mother of sons. Hallelujah!

He gives the childless woman a home, and makes her the happy mother of children. Hallelujah.
