< Psalms 113 >
1 Praise JAH. Praise, you servants of Jehovah, praise the name of Jehovah.
Alleluia. Praise the Lord, you servants [of his], praise, the name of the Lord.
2 Blessed be the name of Jehovah, from this time forth and forevermore.
Let the name of the Lord be blessed, from this present time and for ever.
3 From the rising of the sun to the going down of the same, Jehovah's name is to be praised.
From the rising of the sun to his setting, the name of the Lord is to be praised.
4 Jehovah is high above all nations, his glory above the heavens.
The Lord is high above all the nations; his glory is above the heavens.
5 Who is like Jehovah, our God, who has his seat on high,
Who is as the Lord our God? who dwells in the high places,
6 Who stoops down to see in heaven and in the earth?
and [yet] looks upon the low things in heaven, and on the earth:
7 He raises up the poor out of the dust. Lifts up the needy from the ash heap;
who lifts up the poor from the earth, and raises up the needy from the dunghill;
8 that he may set him with princes, even with the princes of his people.
to set him with princes, [even] with the princes of his people:
9 He settles the barren woman in her home, as a joyful mother of children. Praise JAH.
who settles the barren [woman] in a house, [as] a mother rejoicing over children.
