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 and for evermore.

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

From the rising of the sun to the going down of the same 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, [and] his glory above the heavens.

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

Who [is] like to the LORD our God, who dwelleth on high.

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

Who humbleth [himself] to behold [the things that are] 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 raiseth the poor out of the dust, [and] lifteth the needy out of the dunghill;

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 maketh the barren woman to keep house, [and to be] a joyful mother of children. Praise ye the LORD.
