< Psalms 113 >
1 Praise the Lord! Praise him, servants of the Lord! Praise the Lord's as he is!
Praise ye Yah! Praise, O ye servants of Yahweh, Praise the Name of Yahweh;
2 Let the Lord's nature be praised, now and forever.
Be the Name of Yahweh blessed, henceforth, even to times age-abiding.
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 in thereof, Worthy to be praised, is the Name of Yahweh:
4 The Lord rules supreme over all nations; his glory extends higher than the heavens.
High above all nations, is Yahweh, Above the heavens, his glory.
5 Who is like the Lord our God? He is the one who lives on high, seated on his throne.
Who is like Yahweh our God? that goeth on high to dwell,
6 He has to stoop low to look down on the heavens and the earth.
That cometh down low to look, through the heavens and through the earth;
7 He helps the poor up from the dust; he lifts the needy from the dump.
That raiseth, out of the dust, the poor, From the dunghill, uplifteth the needy;
8 He gives them positions of honor together important leaders, with leaders of his own people.
To give a seat with nobles, with the nobles of his people!
9 He makes the childless woman happy in her home by giving her children. Praise the Lord!
Causing the barren woman to dwell in a household, A mother of sons in her joy! Praise ye Yah.
