< Psalms 113 >
1 Praise Yahweh. Praise him, you servants of Yahweh; praise the name of Yahweh.
2 Blessed be the name of Yahweh, both now and forevermore.
3 From the rising of the sun to its setting, Yahweh's name should be praised.
4 Yahweh is exalted above all nations, and his glory reaches above the skies.
5 Who is like Yahweh our God, who has his seat on high,
6 who looks down at the sky and at the earth?
7 He raises up the poor out of the dirt and lifts up the needy from the ash heap,
8 so that he may seat him with princes, 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!
