< Psalms 113 >
1 Praise ye the LORD. 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 evermore.
Blessed be the name of Jehovah, from this time forth 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 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, [and] his glory above the heavens.
Jehovah is high above all nations, his glory above the heavens.
5 Who [is] like unto the LORD our God, who dwelleth on high,
Who is like unto Jehovah our God, who hath placed his dwelling on high;
6 Who humbleth [himself] to behold [the things that are] in heaven, and in the earth!
Who humbleth himself to look on the heavens and on the earth?
7 He raiseth up the poor out of the dust, [and] lifteth 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 He maketh the barren woman to keep house, [and to be] a joyful mother of children. Praise ye the LORD.
He maketh the barren woman to keep house, [as] a joyful mother of sons. Hallelujah!
