Psalms 113

1 Hallelujah. Praise, O ye servants of the Lord, praise ye the name of the Lord.

Praise ye the LORD! Praise, O ye servants of the LORD! Praise 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 this time forth, even 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 to its going down, May the LORD'S name be praised!

4 High above all nations is the Lord, above the heavens is his glory.

The LORD is high above all nations; His glory is above the heavens.

5 Who is like the Lord our God, who dwelleth on high?

Who is like the LORD, our God, That dwelleth on high,

6 Who condescendeth to view what is done in the heavens, and on the earth?

That looketh down low Upon the heavens and the earth?

7 He raiseth up out of the dust the poor, from the dunghill he lifteth up the needy:

He raiseth the poor from the dust, And exalteth the needy from the dunghill,

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

To set him among princes, Even among 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.

He causeth the barren woman to dwell in a house, A joyful mother of children. Praise ye the LORD!
