Psalms 113

1 Alleluia. Praise the Lord, you servants [of his], praise, the name of the Lord.

Praise the Lord, ye children: praise ye the name of the Lord.

2 Let the name of the Lord be blessed, from this present time and for ever.

Blessed be the name of the Lord, from henceforth now and for ever.

3 From the rising of the sun to his setting, the name of the Lord is to be praised.

From the rising of the sun unto the going down of the same, the name of the Lord is worthy of praise.

4 The Lord is high above all the nations; his glory is above the heavens.

The Lord is high above all nations; and his glory above the heavens.

5 Who is as the Lord our God? who dwells in the high places,

Who is as the Lord our God, who dwelleth on high:

6 and [yet] looks upon the low things in heaven, and on the earth:

And looketh down on the low things in heaven and in earth?

7 who lifts up the poor from the earth, and raises up the needy from the dunghill;

Raising up the needy from the earth, and lifting up the poor out of the dunghill:

8 to set him with princes, [even] with the princes of his people:

That he may place him with princes, with the princes of his people.

9 who settles the barren [woman] in a house, [as] a mother rejoicing over children.

Who maketh a barren woman to dwell in a house, the joyful mother of children.
