< Psalms 113 >

1 Hallelujah. Praise, O ye servants of the Lord, praise ye 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 time forth and for evermore.
Blessed be the name of the Lord, from henceforth now and for ever.
3 From the rising of the sun unto his going down the name of the Lord is praised.
From the rising of the sun unto the going down of the same, the name of the Lord is worthy of praise.
4 High above all nations is the Lord, above the heavens is his glory.
The Lord is high above all nations; and his glory above the heavens.
5 Who is like the Lord our God, who dwelleth on high?
Who is as the Lord our God, who dwelleth on high:
6 Who condescendeth to view what is done in the heavens, and on the earth?
And looketh down on the low things in heaven and in earth?
7 He raiseth up out of the dust the poor, from the dunghill he lifteth up the needy:
Raising up the needy from the earth, and lifting up the poor out of the dunghill:
8 That he may 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 He causeth the barren woman to dwell in the midst of [her] household, the joyful mother of children. Hallelujah.
Who maketh a barren woman to dwell in a house, the joyful mother of children.
