< Psalms 113 >
1 Praise the LORD. Praise, you servants of the LORD, praise the name of the LORD.
Alleluya. Children, preise ye the Lord; preise ye the name of the Lord.
2 Blessed be the name of the LORD, from this time forth and forevermore.
The name of the Lord be blessid; fro this tyme now and til in to the world.
3 From the rising of the sun to the going down of the same, The LORD's name is to be praised.
Fro the risyng of the sunne til to the goyng doun; the name of the Lord is worthi to be preisid.
4 The LORD is high above all nations, his glory above the heavens.
The Lord is hiy aboue alle folkis; and his glorie is aboue heuenes.
5 Who is like the LORD, our God, who has his seat on high,
Who is as oure Lord God, that dwellith in hiye thingis;
6 Who stoops down to see in heaven and in the earth?
and biholdith meke thingis in heuene and in erthe?
7 He raises up the poor out of the dust. Lifts up the needy from the ash heap;
Reisynge a nedi man fro the erthe; and enhaunsinge a pore man fro drit.
8 that he may set him with princes, even with the princes of his people.
That he sette hym with princes; with the princes of his puple.
9 He settles the barren woman in her home, as a joyful mother of children. Praise the LORD.
Which makith a bareyn womman dwelle in the hous; a glad modir of sones.
