< Psalms 113 >

1 Alleluia. Praise the Lord, ye servants [of his], praise, the name of the Lord. 2 Let the name of the Lord be blessed, from this present time and for ever. 3 From the rising of the sun to his setting, the name of the Lord is to be praised. 4 The Lord is high above all the nations; his glory is above the heavens. 5 Who is as the Lord our God? who dwells in the high places, 6 and [yet] looks upon the low things in heaven, and on the earth: 7 who lifts up the poor from the earth, and raises up the needy from the dunghill; 8 to set him with princes, [even] with the princes of his people: 9 who settles the barren [woman] in a house, [as] a mother rejoicing over children.
