Psalms 113

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

PRAISE ye the Lord. Praise, O ye servants of the Lord, 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 be the name of the Lord 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 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 above all nations, and his glory above the heavens.

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

Who is like unto the Lord our God, who dwelleth on high,

6 and biholdith meke thingis in heuene and in erthe?

Who humbleth himself to behold the things that are in heaven, and in 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, and lifteth the needy out of the dunghill;

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

That he may set him with princes, even with the princes 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, and to be a joyful mother of children. Praise ye the Lord.
