Psalms 113

1 Hallelujah. Praise, O ye servants of the LORD, praise the name of the LORD.

Alleluia. Praise the Lord, children. Praise the name of the Lord.

2 Blessed be the name of the LORD from this time forth and for ever.

Blessed is the name of the Lord, from this time forward and even forever.

3 From the rising of the sun unto the going down thereof the LORD'S name is to be praised.

From the rising of the sun, even to its setting, praiseworthy is the name of the Lord.

4 The LORD is high above all nations, His glory is above the heavens.

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

5 Who is like unto the LORD our God, that is enthroned on high,

Who is like the Lord, our God, who dwells on high,

6 That looketh down low upon heaven and upon the earth?

and who gazes upon the humble things in heaven and on earth?

7 Who raiseth up the poor out of the dust, and lifteth up the needy out of the dunghill;

He lifts up the needy from the ground, and he urges the poor away from filth,

8 That He may set him with princes, even with the princes of His people.

so that he may place him with the leaders, with the leaders of his people.

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

He causes a barren woman to live in a house, as the joyful mother of sons.
