Psalms 113

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

הַ֥לְלוּ יָ֨הּ ׀ הַ֭לְלוּ עַבְדֵ֣י יְהוָ֑ה הֽ͏ַ֝לְלוּ אֶת־שֵׁ֥ם יְהוָֽה׃

2 Yahweh should be praised now and forever!

יְהִ֤י שֵׁ֣ם יְהוָ֣ה מְבֹרָ֑ךְ מֵֽ֝עַתָּ֗ה וְעַד־עֹולָֽם׃

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

מִמִּזְרַח־שֶׁ֥מֶשׁ עַד־מְבֹואֹ֑ו מְ֝הֻלָּ֗ל שֵׁ֣ם יְהוָֽה׃

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

רָ֖ם עַל־כָּל־גֹּויִ֥ם ׀ יְהוָ֑ה עַ֖ל הַשָּׁמַ֣יִם כְּבֹודֹֽו׃

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

מִ֭י כַּיהוָ֣ה אֱלֹהֵ֑ינוּ הַֽמַּגְבִּיהִ֥י לָשָֽׁבֶת׃

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

הַֽמַּשְׁפִּילִ֥י לִרְאֹ֑ות בַּשָּׁמַ֥יִם וּבָאָֽרֶץ׃

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

מְקִֽימִ֣י מֵעָפָ֣ר דָּ֑ל מֵֽ֝אַשְׁפֹּ֗ת יָרִ֥ים אֶבְיֹֽון׃

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

לְהֹושִׁיבִ֥י עִם־נְדִיבִ֑ים עִ֝֗ם נְדִיבֵ֥י עַמֹּֽו׃

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

מֹֽושִׁיבִ֨י ׀ עֲקֶ֬רֶת הַבַּ֗יִת אֵֽם־הַבָּנִ֥ים שְׂמֵחָ֗ה הַֽלְלוּ־יָֽהּ׃
