< Psalms 113 >
1 Praise YAH! Praise, you servants of YHWH. Praise the Name of YHWH.
Praise the Lord, ye children: praise ye the name of the Lord.
2 The Name of YHWH is blessed, From now on, and for all time.
Blessed be the name of the Lord, from henceforth now 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 unto the going down of the same, the name of the Lord is worthy of praise.
4 YHWH [is] high above all nations, His glory [is] above the heavens.
The Lord is high above all nations; and his glory above the heavens.
5 Who [is] as our God YHWH, He is exalting [Himself] to sit?
Who is as the Lord our God, who dwelleth on high:
6 He is humbling [Himself] to look On the heavens and on the earth.
And looketh down on the low things in heaven and in earth?
7 He is raising up the poor from the dust, He exalts the needy from a dunghill.
Raising up the needy from the earth, and lifting up the poor out of the dunghill:
8 To cause [them] to sit with princes, With the princes of His people.
That he may place him with princes, with the princes of his people.
9 Causing the barren one of the house to sit, A joyful mother of sons; praise YAH!
Who maketh a barren woman to dwell in a house, the joyful mother of children.
