< Psalms 113 >
1 Praise ye the LORD. Praise, O ye servants of the LORD, praise the name of the LORD.
Praise the Lord, ye children: praise ye the name of the Lord.
2 Blessed be the name of the LORD from this time forth and for evermore.
Blessed be the name of the Lord, from henceforth now and for ever.
3 From the rising of the sun unto the going down of the same the LORD’S name is to be praised.
From the rising of the sun unto the going down of the same, the name of the Lord is worthy of praise.
4 The LORD is high above all nations, and his glory above the heavens.
The Lord is high above all nations; and his glory above the heavens.
5 Who is like unto the LORD our God, that hath his seat on high,
Who is as the Lord our God, who dwelleth on high:
6 That humbleth himself to behold [the things that are] in heaven and in the earth?
And looketh down on the low things in heaven and in earth?
7 He raiseth up the poor out of the dust, and lifteth up the needy from the dunghill;
Raising up the needy from the earth, and lifting up the poor out of the dunghill:
8 That he may set him with princes, even with the princes of his people.
That he may place him with princes, with the princes of his people.
9 He maketh the barren woman to keep house, [and to be] a joyful mother of children. Praise ye the LORD.
Who maketh a barren woman to dwell in a house, the joyful mother of children.
