Psalms 113

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

Praise all of you the LORD. Praise, O all of you servants of the LORD, praise 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 this time forth and for evermore.

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 LORD's name is to be praised.

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 like unto the LORD our God, who dwells on high,

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

Who humbles himself to behold the things that are in heaven, and in the earth!

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

He raises up the poor out of the dust, and lifts the needy out of the dunghill;

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

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

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

He makes the barren woman to keep house, and to be a joyful mother of children. Praise all of you the LORD.
