< Psalms 113 >
1 Praise Yahweh. Praise him, you servants of Yahweh; praise the name of Yahweh.
Praise the LORD! Praise, you servants of the LORD, praise the LORD’s name.
2 Blessed be the name of Yahweh, both now and forevermore.
Blessed be the LORD’s name, from this time forward and forever more.
3 From the rising of the sun to its setting, Yahweh's name should be praised.
From the rising of the sun to its going down, the LORD’s name is to be praised.
4 Yahweh is exalted above all nations, and his glory reaches above the skies.
The LORD is high above all nations, his glory above the heavens.
5 Who is like Yahweh our God, who has his seat on high,
Who is like the LORD, our God, who has his seat on high,
6 who looks down at the sky and at the earth?
who stoops down to see in heaven and in the earth?
7 He raises up the poor out of the dirt and lifts up the needy from the ash heap,
He raises up the poor out of the dust, and lifts up the needy from the ash heap,
8 so that he may seat him with princes, with the princes of his people.
that he may set him with princes, even with the princes of his people.
9 He gives a home to the barren woman of the house, he makes her a joyful mother of children. Praise Yahweh!
He settles the barren woman in her home as a joyful mother of children. Praise the LORD!
