< 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.
