Psalm 113

1 Lobet Jehova! Lobet, ihr Knechte Jehovas, lobet den Namen Jehovas!

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

2 Gepriesen sei der Name Jehovas von nun an bis in Ewigkeit!

Yahweh should be praised now and forever!

3 Vom Aufgang der Sonne bis zu ihrem Niedergang sei gelobt der Name Jehovas!

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

4 Hoch über alle Nationen ist Jehova, über die Himmel seine Herrlichkeit.

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

5 Wer ist wie Jehova, unser Gott, der hoch oben thront;

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

6 der sich herabneigt, um auf die Himmel und auf die Erde zu schauen?

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

7 Der aus dem Staube emporhebt den Geringen, aus dem Kote erhöht den Armen,

[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 um ihn sitzen zu lassen bei den Edlen, bei den Edlen seines Volkes.

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

9 Der die Unfruchtbare des Hauses wohnen läßt als eine fröhliche Mutter von Söhnen. Lobet Jehova!

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