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, that hath his seat on high,

6 and biholdith meke thingis in heuene and in erthe?

That 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 up the needy from 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.
