Psalms 113

1 Alleluya. Children, preise ye the Lord; preise ye the name of the Lord.

Alleluia. Praise the Lord, children. Praise the name of the Lord.

2 The name of the Lord be blessid; fro this tyme now and til in to the world.

Blessed is the name of the Lord, from this time forward and even forever.

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

From the rising of the sun, even to its setting, praiseworthy is the name of the Lord.

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

The Lord is high above all nations, and his glory is high above the heavens.

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

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

6 and biholdith meke thingis in heuene and in erthe?

and who gazes upon the humble things in heaven and on earth?

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

He lifts up the needy from the ground, and he urges the poor away from filth,

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

so that he may place him with the leaders, with the leaders of his people.

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

He causes a barren woman to live in a house, as the joyful mother of sons.
