Psalms 113

1 Alleluia. Praise the Lord, you servants [of his], praise, the name of the Lord.

Praise ye the LORD. Praise, O ye servants of the LORD, praise the name of the LORD.

2 Let the name of the Lord be blessed, from this present time and for ever.

Blessed be the name of the LORD from this time forth and for evermore.

3 From the rising of the sun to his setting, the name of the Lord is to be praised.

From the rising of the sun unto the going down of the same the LORD’s name [is] to be praised.

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

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

5 Who is as the Lord our God? who dwells in the high places,

Who [is] like unto the LORD our God, who dwelleth on high,

6 and [yet] looks upon the low things in heaven, and on the earth:

Who humbleth [himself] to behold [the things that are] in heaven, and in the earth!

7 who lifts up the poor from the earth, and raises up the needy from the dunghill;

He raiseth up the poor out of the dust, [and] lifteth the needy out of the dunghill;

8 to set him with princes, [even] with the princes of his people:

That he may 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.

He maketh the barren woman to keep house, [and to be] a joyful mother of children. Praise ye the LORD.
