< Psalms 113 >
1 Praise Yah! Praise, you servants of Yahweh, praise Yahweh’s name.
Hallelujah. Praise, O ye servants of the LORD, praise the name of the LORD.
2 Blessed be Yahweh’s name, from this time forward and forever more.
Blessed be the name of the LORD from this time forth and for ever.
3 From the rising of the sun to its going down, Yahweh’s name is to be praised.
From the rising of the sun unto the going down thereof the LORD'S name is to be praised.
4 Yahweh is high above all nations, his glory above the heavens.
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 unto the LORD our God, that is enthroned on high,
6 who stoops down to see in heaven and in the earth?
That looketh down low upon heaven and upon the earth?
7 He raises up the poor out of the dust, and lifts up the needy from the ash heap,
Who raiseth up the poor out of the dust, and lifteth up the needy out of the dunghill;
8 that he may set him with princes, even with the princes of his people.
That He may set him with princes, even with the princes of His people.
9 He settles the barren woman in her home as a joyful mother of children. Praise Yah!
Who maketh the barren woman to dwell in her house as a joyful mother of children. Hallelujah.
