< Psalms 113 >
1 Alleluya. Children, preise ye the Lord; preise ye the name of the Lord.
Hallelujah! Praise, ye servants of Jehovah, praise the name of Jehovah.
2 The name of the Lord be blessid; fro this tyme now and til in to the world.
Blessed be the name of Jehovah, from this time forth and for evermore!
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 unto the going down of the same, let Jehovah's name be praised.
4 The Lord is hiy aboue alle folkis; and his glorie is aboue heuenes.
Jehovah is high above all nations, his glory above the heavens.
5 Who is as oure Lord God, that dwellith in hiye thingis;
Who is like unto Jehovah our God, who hath placed his dwelling on high;
6 and biholdith meke thingis in heuene and in erthe?
Who humbleth himself to look on the heavens and on the earth?
7 Reisynge a nedi man fro the erthe; and enhaunsinge a pore man fro drit.
He raiseth up the poor out of the dust; from the dung-hill he lifteth up the needy,
8 That he sette hym with princes; with the princes of his puple.
To set [him] among nobles, among the nobles of his people.
9 Which makith a bareyn womman dwelle in the hous; a glad modir of sones.
He maketh the barren woman to keep house, [as] a joyful mother of sons. Hallelujah!
