< Psalms 113 >
1 Alleluya. Children, preise ye the Lord; preise ye the name of the Lord.
Praise Yah! Praise, you servants of Yahweh, praise Yahweh’s name.
2 The name of the Lord be blessid; fro this tyme now and til in to the world.
Blessed be Yahweh’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, Yahweh’s name is to be praised.
4 The Lord is hiy aboue alle folkis; and his glorie is aboue heuenes.
Yahweh 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 Yahweh, 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 Yah!
