< Psalms 113 >
1 Praise JAH. Praise, you servants of YHWH, praise the name of YHWH.
Hallelujah! Praise, ye servants of Jehovah, praise the name of Jehovah.
2 Blessed be the name of YHWH, from this time forth and forevermore.
Blessed be the name of Jehovah, from this time forth and for evermore!
3 From the rising of the sun to the going down of the same, YHWH's name is to be praised.
From the rising of the sun unto the going down of the same, let Jehovah's name be praised.
4 YHWH is high above all nations, his glory above the heavens.
Jehovah is high above all nations, his glory above the heavens.
5 Who is like YHWH, our God, who has his seat on high,
Who is like unto Jehovah our God, who hath placed his dwelling on high;
6 Who stoops down to see in heaven and in the earth?
Who humbleth himself to look on the heavens and on the earth?
7 He raises up the poor out of the dust. Lifts up the needy from the ash heap;
He raiseth up the poor out of the dust; from the dung-hill he lifteth up the needy,
8 that he may set him with princes, even with the princes of his people.
To set [him] among nobles, among the nobles of his people.
9 He settles the barren woman in her home, as a joyful mother of children. Praise JAH.
He maketh the barren woman to keep house, [as] a joyful mother of sons. Hallelujah!
