Psalms 113

1 Hallelujah. Praise the Lord, you his servants, praise the name of the Lord.

Praise ye the LORD! Praise, O ye servants of the LORD! Praise the name of the LORD!

2 The name of the Lord be blessed from now and for evermore.

Blessed be the name of the LORD From this time forth, even for ever!

3 From sunrise to sunset is the name of the Lord to be praised.

From the rising of the sun to its going down, May the LORD'S name be praised!

4 High is the Lord above all nations, above the heavens is his glory.

The LORD is high above all nations; His glory is above the heavens.

5 Who is like the Lord our God, seated on high?

Who is like the LORD, our God, That dwelleth on high,

6 He bends down to look at the heavens and earth.

That looketh down low Upon the heavens and the earth?

7 He raises the weak from the dust, he lifts the poor from the dunghill,

He raiseth the poor from the dust, And exalteth the needy from the dunghill,

8 and sets them beside the princes, even the princes of his people.

To set him among princes, Even among the princes of his people.

9 He gives the childless woman a home, and makes her the happy mother of children. Hallelujah.

He causeth the barren woman to dwell in a house, A joyful mother of children. Praise ye the LORD!
