< Psalms 113 >
1 Praise Yahweh! You people who serve Yahweh, praise him! Praise (him/his name)!
Praise ye Yah! Praise, O ye servants of Yahweh, Praise the Name of Yahweh;
2 Yahweh should be praised now and forever!
Be the Name of Yahweh blessed, henceforth, even to times age-abiding.
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 in thereof, Worthy to be praised, is the Name of Yahweh:
4 Yahweh rules [MTY] over all the nations, and high in the heavens he shows that his glory is very great.
High above all nations, is Yahweh, Above the heavens, his glory.
5 There is no one [RHQ] who is like Yahweh, our God, who lives/sits/rules in the highest heaven,
Who is like Yahweh our God? that goeth on high to dwell,
6 and looks far down through the heavens and sees the [people on] the earth.
That cometh down low to look, through the heavens and through 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
That raiseth, out of the dust, the poor, From the dunghill, uplifteth the needy;
8 and causes them to [be honored] by sitting next to princes, the sons of the kings [who rule] their people.
To give a seat with nobles, with 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!
Causing the barren woman to dwell in a household, A mother of sons in her joy! Praise ye Yah.
