< Psalms 113 >
1 Praise ye Yah! Praise, O ye servants of Yahweh, Praise the Name of Yahweh;
Halleluyah ·praise Yah·! Praise, you servants of Adonai, praise Adonai’s name.
2 Be the Name of Yahweh blessed, henceforth, even to times age-abiding.
Blessed be Adonai’s name, from this time forward and forever more.
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 to the going down of the same, Adonai’s name is to be praised.
4 High above all nations, is Yahweh, Above the heavens, his glory.
Adonai is high above all nations, his kavod ·weighty glory· above the heavens.
5 Who is like Yahweh our God? that goeth on high to dwell,
Who is like Adonai, our God, who has his seat on high,
6 That cometh down low to look, through the heavens and through the earth;
Who stoops down to see in heaven and in the earth?
7 That raiseth, out of the dust, the poor, From the dunghill, uplifteth the needy;
He raises up the poor out of the dust. Lifts up the needy from the ash heap;
8 To give a seat with nobles, with the nobles of his people!
that he may set him with princes, even 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 of children. Halleluyah ·praise Yah·!
