Psalms 113

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

Praise Yahweh! You people who serve Yahweh, praise him! Praise (him/his name)!

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

Yahweh should be praised now and forever!

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

People who live in the east and people who live in the west, everyone, should praise Yahweh [MTY]!

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

Yahweh rules [MTY] over all the nations, and high in the heavens he shows that his glory is very great.

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

There is no one [RHQ] who is like Yahweh, our God, who lives/sits/rules in the highest heaven,

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

and looks far down through the heavens and sees the [people on] the earth.

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

[Sometimes] he lifts poor people up [so that they no longer sit in] the dirt; he helps needy [people so that they no longer sit on] heaps of ashes

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

and causes them to [be honored] by sitting next to princes, the sons of the kings [who rule] their people.

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

He also enables women who have no children to have a family; he causes them to be happy mothers. Praise Yahweh!
