Psalms 113

1 Praise the Lord, ye children: praise ye the name of the Lord.

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

2 Blessed be the name of the Lord, from henceforth now and for ever.

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, the name of the Lord is worthy of praise.

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

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

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

5 Who is as the Lord our God, who dwelleth on high:

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

6 And looketh down on the low things in heaven and in earth?

He bends down to look at the heavens and earth.

7 Raising up the needy from the earth, and lifting up the poor out of the dunghill:

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

8 That he may place him with princes, with the princes of his people.

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

9 Who maketh a barren woman to dwell in a house, the joyful mother of children.

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