< Psalms 113 >
1 Praise YAH! Praise, you servants of YHWH. Praise the Name of YHWH.
Alleluia. Praise the Lord, you servants [of his], praise, the name of the Lord.
2 The Name of YHWH is blessed, From now on, and for all time.
Let the name of the Lord be blessed, from this present time and for ever.
3 From the rising of the sun to its going in, The Name of YHWH [is] praised.
From the rising of the sun to his setting, the name of the Lord is to be praised.
4 YHWH [is] high above all nations, His glory [is] above the heavens.
The Lord is high above all the nations; his glory is above the heavens.
5 Who [is] as our God YHWH, He is exalting [Himself] to sit?
Who is as the Lord our God? who dwells in the high places,
6 He is humbling [Himself] to look On the heavens and on the earth.
and [yet] looks upon the low things in heaven, and on the earth:
7 He is raising up the poor from the dust, He exalts the needy from a dunghill.
who lifts up the poor from the earth, and raises up the needy from the dunghill;
8 To cause [them] to sit with princes, With the princes of His people.
to set him with princes, [even] with the princes of his people:
9 Causing the barren one of the house to sit, A joyful mother of sons; praise YAH!
who settles the barren [woman] in a house, [as] a mother rejoicing over children.
