Psalms 113

1 Praise ye the LORD. Praise, O ye servants of the LORD, praise the name of the LORD.

Let the Lord be praised. O you servants of the Lord, give praise to the name of the Lord.

2 Blessed be the name of the LORD from this time forth and for evermore.

Let blessing be on the name of the Lord, from this time and for ever.

3 From the rising of the sun to the going down of the same the LORD'S name [is] to be praised.

From the coming up of the sun to its going down, the Lord's name is to be praised.

4 The LORD [is] high above all nations, [and] his glory above the heavens.

The Lord is high over all nations, and his glory is higher than the heavens.

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

Who is like the Lord our God, who is seated on high,

6 Who humbleth [himself] to behold [the things that are] in heaven, and in the earth!

Looking down on the heavens, and on the earth?

7 He raiseth the poor out of the dust, [and] lifteth the needy out of the dunghill;

He takes the poor man out of the dust, lifting him up from his low position;

8 That he may set [him] with princes, [even] with the princes of his people.

To give him a place among the rulers, even with the rulers of his people.

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

He gives the unfertile woman a family, making her a happy mother of children. Give praise to the Lord.
