Psalms 113

1 Praise ye Jah! Praise, ye servants of Jehovah. Praise the name of Jehovah.

Praise ye Jehovah. Praise, O ye servants of Jehovah. Praise the name of Jehovah.

2 The name of Jehovah is blessed, From henceforth, and unto the age.

Blessed be the name of Jehovah from this time forth and for evermore.

3 From the rising of the sun unto its going in, Praised [is] the name of Jehovah.

From the rising of the sun to the going down of the same Jehovah's name is to be praised.

4 High above all nations [is] Jehovah, Above the heavens [is] his honour.

Jehovah is high above all nations, and his glory above the heavens.

5 Who [is] as Jehovah our God, He is exalting [Himself] to sit?

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

6 He is humbling [Himself] to look On the heavens and on the earth.

and yet looks upon the low things in heaven and in the earth.

7 He is raising up from the dust the poor, From a dunghill He exalteth the needy.

He raises up a poor man out of the dust, and lifts up a needy man from the dunghill,

8 To cause to sit with princes, With the princes of His people.

that he may set him with rulers, even with the rulers of his people.

9 Causing the barren one of the house to sit, A joyful mother of sons; praise ye Jah!

He makes the barren woman to keep house, a joyful mother of sons. Praise ye Jehovah.
