Psalms 113

1 Hallelujah. Praise, O ye servants of the LORD, praise 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 this time forth 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 thereof the LORD'S name is to be praised.

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

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

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

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

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

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

He bends down to look at the heavens and earth.

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

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

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

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

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

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