Psalms 113

1 Praise Yahweh. Praise him, you servants of Yahweh; praise the name of Yahweh.

Alleluia. Praise the Lord, you servants [of his], praise, the name of the Lord.

2 Blessed be the name of Yahweh, both now and forevermore.

Let the name of the Lord be blessed, from this present time and for ever.

3 From the rising of the sun to its setting, Yahweh's name should be praised.

From the rising of the sun to his setting, the name of the Lord is to be praised.

4 Yahweh is exalted above all nations, and his glory reaches above the skies.

The Lord is high above all the nations; his glory is above the heavens.

5 Who is like Yahweh our God, who has his seat on high,

Who is as the Lord our God? who dwells in the high places,

6 who looks down at the sky and at the earth?

and [yet] looks upon the low things in heaven, and on the earth:

7 He raises up the poor out of the dirt and lifts up the needy from the ash heap,

who lifts up the poor from the earth, and raises up the needy from the dunghill;

8 so that he may seat him with princes, with the princes of his people.

to 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!

who settles the barren [woman] in a house, [as] a mother rejoicing over children.
