< Psalms 113 >
1 Praise YAH! Praise, you servants of YHWH. Praise the Name of YHWH.
Let the Lord be praised. O you servants of the Lord, give praise to the name of the Lord.
2 The Name of YHWH is blessed, From now on, and for all time.
Let blessing be on the name of the Lord, from this time and for ever.
3 From the rising of the sun to its going in, The Name of YHWH [is] praised.
From the coming up of the sun to its going down, the Lord's name is to be praised.
4 YHWH [is] high above all nations, His glory [is] above the heavens.
The Lord is high over all nations, and his glory is higher than the heavens.
5 Who [is] as our God YHWH, He is exalting [Himself] to sit?
Who is like the Lord our God, who is seated on high,
6 He is humbling [Himself] to look On the heavens and on the earth.
Looking down on the heavens, and on the earth?
7 He is raising up the poor from the dust, He exalts the needy from a dunghill.
He takes the poor man out of the dust, lifting him up from his low position;
8 To cause [them] to sit with princes, With the princes of His people.
To give him a place among the rulers, even with the rulers of his people.
9 Causing the barren one of the house to sit, A joyful mother of sons; praise YAH!
He gives the unfertile woman a family, making her a happy mother of children. Give praise to the Lord.
