< Psalms 113 >
1 Praise Yahweh. Praise him, you servants of Yahweh; praise the name of Yahweh.
Praise ye the LORD! Praise, O ye servants of the LORD! Praise the name of the LORD!
2 Blessed be the name of Yahweh, both now and forevermore.
Blessed be the name of the LORD From this time forth, even 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 its going down, May the LORD'S name 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 is above the heavens.
5 Who is like Yahweh our God, who has his seat on high,
Who is like the LORD, our God, That dwelleth on high,
6 who looks down at the sky and at the earth?
That looketh down low Upon the heavens and the earth?
7 He raises up the poor out of the dirt and lifts up the needy from the ash heap,
He raiseth the poor from the dust, And exalteth the needy from the dunghill,
8 so that he may seat him with princes, with the princes of his people.
To set him among princes, Even among 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 causeth the barren woman to dwell in a house, A joyful mother of children. Praise ye the LORD!
