Psalms 113

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

Praise ye the LORD. Praise, O ye servants of the LORD, praise the name of the LORD.

2 Yahweh should be praised now and forever!

Blessed be the name of the LORD 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 to the going down of the same the LORD'S name [is] to be praised.

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] like to the LORD our God, who dwelleth on high.

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

Who humbleth [himself] to behold [the things that are] in heaven, and in 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 the poor out of the dust, [and] lifteth the needy 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 set [him] with princes, [even] 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!

He maketh the barren woman to keep house, [and to be] a joyful mother of children. Praise ye the LORD.
