Psalms 113

1 Praise Yahweh! You people who serve Yahweh, praise him! Praise (him/his name)!

Praise the Lord, ye children: praise ye the name of the Lord.

2 Yahweh should be praised now and forever!

Blessed be the name of the Lord, from henceforth now and for ever.

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, the name of the Lord is worthy of praise.

4 Yahweh rules [MTY] over all the nations, and high in the heavens he shows that his glory is very great.

The Lord is high above all nations; and 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 as the Lord our God, who dwelleth on high:

6 and looks far down through the heavens and sees the [people on] the earth.

And looketh down on the low things in heaven and in 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

Raising up the needy from the earth, and lifting up the poor out of the dunghill:

8 and causes them to [be honored] by sitting next to princes, the sons of the kings [who rule] their people.

That he may place him with princes, with the princes 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!

Who maketh a barren woman to dwell in a house, the joyful mother of children.
