< Psalms 113 >
1 Praise YAH! Praise, you servants of YHWH. Praise the Name of YHWH.
Alleluia. Praise the Lord, children. Praise the name of the Lord.
2 The Name of YHWH is blessed, From now on, and for all time.
Blessed is the name of the Lord, from this time forward and even forever.
3 From the rising of the sun to its going in, The Name of YHWH [is] praised.
From the rising of the sun, even to its setting, praiseworthy is the name of the Lord.
4 YHWH [is] high above all nations, His glory [is] above the heavens.
The Lord is high above all nations, and his glory is high above the heavens.
5 Who [is] as our God YHWH, He is exalting [Himself] to sit?
Who is like the Lord, our God, who dwells on high,
6 He is humbling [Himself] to look On the heavens and on the earth.
and who gazes upon the humble things in heaven and on earth?
7 He is raising up the poor from the dust, He exalts the needy from a dunghill.
He lifts up the needy from the ground, and he urges the poor away from filth,
8 To cause [them] to sit with princes, With the princes of His people.
so that he may place him with the leaders, with the leaders of his people.
9 Causing the barren one of the house to sit, A joyful mother of sons; praise YAH!
He causes a barren woman to live in a house, as the joyful mother of sons.
