< Psalms 113 >
1 Praise the LORD! Praise, you servants of the LORD, praise the LORD’s name.
Praise ye Yah! Praise, O ye servants of Yahweh, Praise the Name of Yahweh;
2 Blessed be the LORD’s name, from this time forward and forever more.
Be the Name of Yahweh blessed, henceforth, even to times age-abiding.
3 From the rising of the sun to its going down, the LORD’s name is to be praised.
From the rising of the sun unto the going in thereof, Worthy to be praised, is the Name of Yahweh:
4 The LORD is high above all nations, his glory above the heavens.
High above all nations, is Yahweh, Above the heavens, his glory.
5 Who is like the LORD, our God, who has his seat on high,
Who is like Yahweh our God? that goeth on high to dwell,
6 who stoops down to see in heaven and in the earth?
That cometh down low to look, through the heavens and through the earth;
7 He raises up the poor out of the dust, and lifts up the needy from the ash heap,
That raiseth, out of the dust, the poor, From the dunghill, uplifteth the needy;
8 that he may set him with princes, even with the princes of his people.
To give a seat with nobles, with the nobles of his people!
9 He settles the barren woman in her home as a joyful mother of children. Praise the LORD!
Causing the barren woman to dwell in a household, A mother of sons in her joy! Praise ye Yah.
