Psalms 113

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

Halleluja! Lobet, ihr Knechte des HERRN, lobet den Namen des HERRN!

2 Yahweh should be praised now and forever!

Gepriesen sei der Name des HERRN von nun an bis in Ewigkeit!

3 People who live in the east and people who live in the west, everyone, should praise Yahweh [MTY]!

Vom Aufgang der Sonne bis zu ihrem Niedergang sei gelobt der Name des HERRN!

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

Erhaben über alle Völker ist der HERR, den Himmel überragt seine Herrlichkeit!

5 There is no one [RHQ] who is like Yahweh, our God, who lives/sits/rules in the highest heaven,

Wer ist dem HERRN gleich, unserm Gott, der da thront in der Höhe,

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

der niederschaut in die Tiefe, im Himmel und auf Erden?

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

Er hebt aus dem Staub den Geringen empor und erhöht aus dem Schmutz den Armen,

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

um ihn sitzen zu lassen neben Edlen, neben den Edlen seines Volks.

9 He also enables women who have no children to have a family; he causes them to be happy mothers. Praise Yahweh!

Er verleiht der kinderlosen Gattin Hausrecht, macht sie zur fröhlichen Mutter von Kindern. Halleluja!
