Psalms 113

1 Praise Yah. Praise, O ye servants of Yhwh, praise the name of Yhwh.

Praise the Lord! Praise him, servants of the Lord! Praise the Lord's as he is!

2 Blessed be the name of Yhwh from this time forth and for evermore.

Let the Lord's nature be praised, now and forever.

3 From the rising of the sun unto the going down of the same Yhwh's name is to be praised.

Let everyone everywhere, from the east to the west, praise the Lord as he is!

4 Yhwh is high above all nations, and his glory above the heavens.

The Lord rules supreme over all nations; his glory extends higher than the heavens.

5 Who is like unto Yhwh our God, who dwelleth on high,

Who is like the Lord our God? He is the one who lives on high, seated on his throne.

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

He has to stoop low to look down on the heavens and the earth.

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

He helps the poor up from the dust; he lifts the needy from the dump.

8 That he may set him with princes, even with the princes of his people.

He gives them positions of honor together important leaders, with leaders of his own people.

9 He maketh the barren woman to keep house, and to be a joyful mother of children. Hallelu jah.

He makes the childless woman happy in her home by giving her children. Praise the Lord!
