Psalm 113

1 Halleluja! Lobet, ihr Knechte des HERRN, lobet den Namen des HERRN!

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

2 Gepriesen sei der Name des HERRN 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 des HERRN!

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

4 Erhaben über alle Völker ist der HERR, den Himmel überragt 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 dem HERRN gleich, unserm Gott, der da thront in der Höhe,

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

6 der niederschaut in die Tiefe, im Himmel und auf Erden?

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

7 Er hebt aus dem Staub den Geringen empor und erhöht aus dem Schmutz 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 neben Edlen, neben den Edlen seines Volks.

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

9 Er verleiht der kinderlosen Gattin Hausrecht, macht sie zur fröhlichen Mutter von Kindern. Halleluja!

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