< Psalms 113 >
1 Praise ye Yah! Praise, O ye servants of Yahweh, Praise the Name of Yahweh;
Praise the LORD! Praise, you servants of the LORD, praise the LORD’s name.
2 Be the Name of Yahweh blessed, henceforth, even to times age-abiding.
Blessed be the LORD’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 its going down, the LORD’s name is to be praised.
4 High above all nations, is Yahweh, Above the heavens, his glory.
The LORD is high above all 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, 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, and 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. Praise the LORD!
