Psalms 113

1 Praise the Lord, ye children: praise ye the name of the Lord.

Praise the LORD. Praise, you servants of the LORD, praise the name of the LORD.

2 Blessed be the name of the Lord, from henceforth now and for ever.

Blessed be the name of the LORD, from this time forth and forevermore.

3 From the rising of the sun unto the going down of the same, the name of the Lord is worthy of praise.

From the rising of the sun to the going down of the same, The LORD's name is to be praised.

4 The Lord is high above all nations; and his glory above the heavens.

The LORD is high above all nations, his glory above the heavens.

5 Who is as the Lord our God, who dwelleth on high:

Who is like the LORD, our God, who has his seat on high,

6 And looketh down on the low things in heaven and in earth?

Who stoops down to see in heaven and in the earth?

7 Raising up the needy from the earth, and lifting up the poor out of the dunghill:

He raises up the poor out of the dust. Lifts up the needy from the ash heap;

8 That he may place him with princes, with the princes of his people.

that he may set him with princes, even with the princes of his people.

9 Who maketh a barren woman to dwell in a house, the joyful mother of children.

He settles the barren woman in her home, as a joyful mother of children. Praise the LORD.
