Psalms 113

1 Alleluya. Children, preise ye the Lord; preise ye 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 The name of the Lord be blessid; fro this tyme now and til in to the world.

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

3 Fro the risyng of the sunne til to the goyng doun; the name of the Lord is worthi to be preisid.

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

4 The Lord is hiy aboue alle folkis; and his glorie is aboue heuenes.

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

5 Who is as oure Lord God, that dwellith in hiye thingis;

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

6 and biholdith meke thingis in heuene and in erthe?

Looking down on the heavens, and on the earth?

7 Reisynge a nedi man fro the erthe; and enhaunsinge a pore man fro drit.

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

8 That he sette hym with princes; with the princes of his puple.

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

9 Which makith a bareyn womman dwelle in the hous; a glad modir of sones.

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