< Psalms 113 >
1 Praise Yahweh! You people who serve Yahweh, praise him! Praise (him/his name)!
Hallelujah! Praise, ye servants of Jehovah, praise the name of Jehovah.
2 Yahweh should be praised now and forever!
Blessed be the name of Jehovah, from this time forth and for evermore!
3 People who live in the east and people who live in the west, everyone, should praise Yahweh [MTY]!
From the rising of the sun unto the going down of the same, let Jehovah's name be praised.
4 Yahweh rules [MTY] over all the nations, and high in the heavens he shows that his glory is very great.
Jehovah is high above all nations, his glory above the heavens.
5 There is no one [RHQ] who is like Yahweh, our God, who lives/sits/rules in the highest heaven,
Who is like unto Jehovah our God, who hath placed his dwelling on high;
6 and looks far down through the heavens and sees the [people on] the earth.
Who humbleth himself to look on the heavens and on the earth?
7 [Sometimes] he lifts poor people up [so that they no longer sit in] the dirt; he helps needy [people so that they no longer sit on] heaps of ashes
He raiseth up the poor out of the dust; from the dung-hill he lifteth up the needy,
8 and causes them to [be honored] by sitting next to princes, the sons of the kings [who rule] their people.
To set [him] among nobles, among the nobles of his people.
9 He also enables women who have no children to have a family; he causes them to be happy mothers. Praise Yahweh!
He maketh the barren woman to keep house, [as] a joyful mother of sons. Hallelujah!
