< Psalms 113 >
1 Hallelujah. Praise the Lord, you his servants, praise the name of the Lord.
2 The name of the Lord be blessed from now and for evermore.
3 From sunrise to sunset is the name of the Lord to be praised.
4 High is the Lord above all nations, above the heavens is his glory.
5 Who is like the Lord our God, seated on high?
6 He bends down to look at the heavens and earth.
7 He raises the weak from the dust, he lifts the poor from the dunghill,
8 and sets them beside the princes, even the princes of his people.
9 He gives the childless woman a home, and makes her the happy mother of children. Hallelujah.
