< Psalms 113 >
1 Praise the Lord, ye children: praise ye the name of the Lord.
Praise ye the LORD! Praise, O ye servants of the LORD! Praise the name of the LORD!
2 Blessed be the name of the Lord, from henceforth now and for ever.
Blessed be the name of the LORD From this time forth, even for ever!
3 From the rising of the sun unto the going down of the same, the name of the Lord is worthy of praise.
From the rising of the sun to its going down, May the LORD'S name be praised!
4 The Lord is high above all nations; and his glory above the heavens.
The LORD is high above all nations; His glory is above the heavens.
5 Who is as the Lord our God, who dwelleth on high:
Who is like the LORD, our God, That dwelleth on high,
6 And looketh down on the low things in heaven and in earth?
That looketh down low Upon the heavens and the earth?
7 Raising up the needy from the earth, and lifting up the poor out of the dunghill:
He raiseth the poor from the dust, And exalteth the needy from the dunghill,
8 That he may place him with princes, with the princes of his people.
To set him among princes, Even among the princes of his people.
9 Who maketh a barren woman to dwell in a house, the joyful mother of children.
He causeth the barren woman to dwell in a house, A joyful mother of children. Praise ye the LORD!
