< Psalms 113 >
1 Halleluyah ·praise Yah·! Praise, you servants of Adonai, praise Adonai’s name.
2 Blessed be Adonai’s name, from this time forward and forever more.
3 From the rising of the sun to the going down of the same, Adonai’s name is to be praised.
4 Adonai is high above all nations, his kavod ·weighty glory· above the heavens.
5 Who is like Adonai, our God, who has his seat on high,
6 Who stoops down to see in heaven and in the earth?
7 He raises up the poor out of the dust. Lifts up the needy from the ash heap;
8 that he may 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. Halleluyah ·praise Yah·!
