Psalms 113

1 Praise the Lord! Praise him, servants of the Lord! Praise the Lord's as he is!

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

2 Let the Lord's nature be praised, now and forever.

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

3 Let everyone everywhere, from the east to the west, praise the Lord as he is!

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

4 The Lord rules supreme over all nations; his glory extends higher than the heavens.

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

5 Who is like the Lord our God? He is the one who lives on high, seated on his throne.

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

6 He has to stoop low to look down on the heavens and the earth.

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

7 He helps the poor up from the dust; he lifts the needy from the dump.

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

8 He gives them positions of honor together important leaders, with leaders of his own people.

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

9 He makes the childless woman happy in her home by giving her children. Praise the Lord!

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