Psalms 113

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

Praise Yahweh! You people who serve Yahweh, praise him! Praise (him/his name)!

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

Yahweh should be praised now and forever!

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

People who live in the east and people who live in the west, everyone, should praise Yahweh [MTY]!

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

Yahweh rules [MTY] over all the nations, and high in the heavens he shows that his glory is very great.

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

There is no one [RHQ] who is like Yahweh, our God, who lives/sits/rules in the highest heaven,

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

and looks far down through the heavens and sees the [people on] the earth.

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

[Sometimes] he lifts poor people up [so that they no longer sit in] the dirt; he helps needy [people so that they no longer sit on] heaps of ashes

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

and causes them to [be honored] by sitting next to princes, the sons of the kings [who rule] their people.

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

He also enables women who have no children to have a family; he causes them to be happy mothers. Praise Yahweh!
