< Psalms 113 >
1 Praise ye the LORD. Praise, O ye servants of the LORD, praise the name of the LORD.
Alleluya. Children, preise ye the Lord; preise ye 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 blessid; fro this tyme now and til in to the world.
3 From the rising of the sun unto the going down of the same the LORD’s name [is] to be praised.
Fro the risyng of the sunne til to the goyng doun; the name of the Lord is worthi to be preisid.
4 The LORD [is] high above all nations, [and] his glory above the heavens.
The Lord is hiy aboue alle folkis; and his glorie is aboue heuenes.
5 Who [is] like unto the LORD our God, who dwelleth on high,
Who is as oure Lord God, that dwellith in hiye thingis;
6 Who humbleth [himself] to behold [the things that are] in heaven, and in the earth!
and biholdith meke thingis in heuene and in erthe?
7 He raiseth up the poor out of the dust, [and] lifteth the needy out of the dunghill;
Reisynge a nedi man fro the erthe; and enhaunsinge a pore man fro drit.
8 That he may set [him] with princes, [even] with the princes of his people.
That he sette hym with princes; with the princes of his puple.
9 He maketh the barren woman to keep house, [and to be] a joyful mother of children. Praise ye the LORD.
Which makith a bareyn womman dwelle in the hous; a glad modir of sones.
