< 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, even 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 rising of the sun to its going down, May the LORD'S name be praised!
4 The Lord is hiy aboue alle folkis; and his glorie is aboue heuenes.
The LORD is high above all nations; His glory is above the heavens.
5 Who is as oure Lord God, that dwellith in hiye thingis;
Who is like the LORD, our God, That dwelleth on high,
6 and biholdith meke thingis in heuene and in erthe?
That looketh down low Upon the heavens and the earth?
7 Reisynge a nedi man fro the erthe; and enhaunsinge a pore man fro drit.
He raiseth the poor from the dust, And exalteth the needy from the dunghill,
8 That he sette hym with princes; with the princes of his puple.
To set him among princes, Even among the princes of his people.
9 Which makith a bareyn womman dwelle in the hous; a glad modir of sones.
He causeth the barren woman to dwell in a house, A joyful mother of children. Praise ye the LORD!
