Psalms 113

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

הללו-יה הללו עבדי יהוה הללו את-שם יהוה

2 Yahweh should be praised now and forever!

יהי שם יהוה מברך-- מעתה ועד-עולם

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

ממזרח-שמש עד-מבואו-- מהלל שם יהוה

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

רם על-כל-גוים יהוה על השמים כבודו

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

מי כיהוה אלהינו-- המגביהי לשבת

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

המשפילי לראות-- בשמים ובארץ

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

מקימי מעפר דל מאשפת ירים אביון

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

להושיבי עם-נדיבים עם נדיבי עמו

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

מושיבי עקרת הבית-- אם-הבנים שמחה הללו-יה
