< Psalms 113 >
1 Hallelujah. Praise, O ye servants of the LORD, praise the name of the LORD.
Hallelujah! Praise, ye servants of Jehovah, praise the name of Jehovah.
2 Blessed be the name of the LORD from this time forth and for ever.
Blessed be the name of Jehovah, from this time forth and for evermore!
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 unto the going down of the same, let Jehovah's name be praised.
4 The LORD is high above all nations, His glory is above the heavens.
Jehovah is high above all nations, his glory above the heavens.
5 Who is like unto the LORD our God, that is enthroned on high,
Who is like unto Jehovah our God, who hath placed his dwelling on high;
6 That looketh down low upon heaven and upon the earth?
Who humbleth himself to look on the heavens and on the earth?
7 Who raiseth up the poor out of the dust, and lifteth up the needy out of the dunghill;
He raiseth up the poor out of the dust; from the dung-hill he lifteth up the needy,
8 That He may set him with princes, even with the princes of His people.
To set [him] among nobles, among the nobles of his people.
9 Who maketh the barren woman to dwell in her house as a joyful mother of children. Hallelujah.
He maketh the barren woman to keep house, [as] a joyful mother of sons. Hallelujah!
