< Psalms 113 >
1 Praise ye the LORD. Praise, O ye servants of the LORD, praise the name of the LORD.
Hallelujah. Praise, O ye servants of the Lord, praise ye the name of the Lord.
2 Blessed be the name of the LORD from this time forth and for evermore.
Let the name of the Lord be blessed from this time forth and for evermore.
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 his going down the name of the Lord is praised.
4 The LORD is high above all nations, and his glory above the heavens.
High above all nations is the Lord, above the heavens is his glory.
5 Who is like unto the LORD our God, that hath his seat on high,
Who is like the Lord our God, who dwelleth on high?
6 That humbleth himself to behold [the things that are] in heaven and in the earth?
Who condescendeth to view what is done in the heavens, and on the earth?
7 He raiseth up the poor out of the dust, and lifteth up the needy from the dunghill;
He raiseth up out of the dust the poor, from the dunghill he lifteth up the needy:
8 That he may set him with princes, even with the princes of his people.
That he may set him with princes, even 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.
He causeth the barren woman to dwell in the midst of [her] household, the joyful mother of children. Hallelujah.
