Psalms 113

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

Praise the LORD! Praise, you servants of the LORD, praise the LORD’s name.

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

Blessed be the LORD’s name, from this time forward and forever more.

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, 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, his glory above the heavens.

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

Who is like the LORD, our God, who has his seat on high,

6 and biholdith meke thingis in heuene and in erthe?

who stoops down to see in heaven and in the earth?

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

He raises up the poor out of the dust, and lifts up the needy from the ash heap,

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 settles the barren woman in her home as a joyful mother of children. Praise the LORD!
