< Psalms 113 >

1 Praise the Lord! Praise him, servants of the Lord! Praise the Lord's as he is! 2 Let the Lord's nature be praised, now and forever. 3 Let everyone everywhere, from the east to the west, praise the Lord as he is! 4 The Lord rules supreme over all nations; his glory extends higher than the heavens. 5 Who is like the Lord our God? He is the one who lives on high, seated on his throne. 6 He has to stoop low to look down on the heavens and the earth. 7 He helps the poor up from the dust; he lifts the needy from the dump. 8 He gives them positions of honor together important leaders, with leaders of his own people. 9 He makes the childless woman happy in her home by giving her children. Praise the Lord!
