Psalms 113

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

Let the Lord be praised. O you servants of the Lord, give praise to the name of the Lord.

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

Let blessing be on the name of the Lord, from this time and for ever.

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

From the coming up of the sun to its going down, the Lord's name is to be praised.

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

The Lord is high over all nations, and his glory is higher than the heavens.

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

Who is like the Lord our God, who is seated on high,

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

Looking down on the heavens, and on the earth?

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

He takes the poor man out of the dust, lifting him up from his low position;

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

To give him a place among the 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 gives the unfertile woman a family, making her a happy mother of children. Give praise to the Lord.
