< Psalms 113 >
1 Praise ye Yah! Praise, O ye servants of Yahweh, Praise the Name of Yahweh;
Hallelujah! Give praise, O servants of the LORD; praise the name of the LORD.
2 Be the Name of Yahweh blessed, henceforth, even to times age-abiding.
Blessed be the name of the LORD both now and forevermore.
3 From the rising of the sun unto the going in thereof, Worthy to be praised, is the Name of Yahweh:
From where the sun rises to where it sets, the name of the LORD is praised.
4 High above all nations, is Yahweh, Above the heavens, his glory.
The LORD is exalted over all the nations, His glory above the heavens.
5 Who is like Yahweh our God? that goeth on high to dwell,
Who is like the LORD our God, the One enthroned on high?
6 That cometh down low to look, through the heavens and through the earth;
He humbles Himself to behold the heavens and the earth.
7 That raiseth, out of the dust, the poor, From the dunghill, uplifteth the needy;
He raises the poor from the dust and lifts the needy from the dump
8 To give a seat with nobles, with the nobles of his people!
to seat them with nobles, with the princes of His people.
9 Causing the barren woman to dwell in a household, A mother of sons in her joy! Praise ye Yah.
He settles the barren woman in her home as a joyful mother to her children. Hallelujah!
