Psalms 113

1 PRAISE ye the Lord. 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 evermore.

The name of the Lord be blessed from now and for evermore.

3 From the rising of the sun unto the going down of the same 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, and his glory 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, who dwelleth on high,

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

6 Who humbleth himself to behold the things that are in heaven, and in the earth!

He bends down to look at the heavens and earth.

7 He raiseth up the poor out of the dust, and lifteth 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 He maketh the barren woman to keep house, and to be a joyful mother of children. Praise ye the Lord.

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