< Psalms 113 >
1 Praise ye Yah! Praise, O ye servants of Yahweh, Praise the Name of Yahweh;
Praise the Lord, ye children: praise ye 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, from henceforth now and for ever.
3 From the rising of the sun unto the going in thereof, Worthy to be praised, is the Name of Yahweh:
From the rising of the sun unto the going down of the same, the name of the Lord is worthy of praise.
4 High above all nations, is Yahweh, Above the heavens, his glory.
The Lord is high above all nations; and his glory above the heavens.
5 Who is like Yahweh our God? that goeth on high to dwell,
Who is as the Lord our God, who dwelleth on high:
6 That cometh down low to look, through the heavens and through the earth;
And looketh down on the low things in heaven and in earth?
7 That raiseth, out of the dust, the poor, From the dunghill, uplifteth the needy;
Raising up the needy from the earth, and lifting up the poor out of the dunghill:
8 To give a seat with nobles, with the nobles of his people!
That he may place him with princes, 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.
Who maketh a barren woman to dwell in a house, the joyful mother of children.
