< Psalms 113 >
1 Alleluia. Praise the Lord, you servants [of his], praise, the name of the Lord.
Praise ye the Lord. Praise, O ye seruants of the Lord, prayse 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 hencefoorth and for euer.
3 From the rising of the sun to his setting, the name of the Lord is to be praised.
The Lordes Name is praysed from the rising of ye sunne, vnto ye going downe of the same.
4 The Lord is high above all the nations; his glory is above the heavens.
The Lord is high aboue all nations, and his glorie aboue the heauens.
5 Who is as the Lord our God? who dwells in the high places,
Who is like vnto the Lord our God, that hath his dwelling on high!
6 and [yet] looks upon the low things in heaven, and on the earth:
Who abaseth himselfe to beholde things in the heauen and in the earth!
7 who lifts up the poor from the earth, and raises up the needy from the dunghill;
He raiseth the needie out of the dust, and lifteth vp the poore out of the dung,
8 to set him with princes, [even] with the princes of his people:
That he may set him with the princes, euen with the princes of his people.
9 who settles the barren [woman] in a house, [as] a mother rejoicing over children.
He maketh the barren woman to dwell with a familie, and a ioyfull mother of children. Prayse ye the Lord.
