Psalms 113

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

Praise Yahweh! You people who serve Yahweh, praise him! Praise (him/his name)!

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

Yahweh should be praised now and forever!

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

People who live in the east and people who live in the west, everyone, should praise Yahweh [MTY]!

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

Yahweh rules [MTY] over all the nations, and high in the heavens he shows that his glory is very great.

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

There is no one [RHQ] who is like Yahweh, our God, who lives/sits/rules in the highest heaven,

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

and looks far down through the heavens and sees the [people on] the earth.

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

[Sometimes] he lifts poor people up [so that they no longer sit in] the dirt; he helps needy [people so that they no longer sit on] heaps of ashes

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

and causes them to [be honored] by sitting next to princes, the sons of the kings [who rule] their people.

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

He also enables women who have no children to have a family; he causes them to be happy mothers. Praise Yahweh!
