Psalms 113

1 Praise JAH. Praise, you servants of YHWH, praise the name of YHWH.

Hallelujah. Praise the Lord, you his servants, praise the name of the Lord.

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

The name of the Lord be blessed from now and for evermore.

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

From sunrise to sunset is the name of the Lord to be praised.

4 YHWH is high above all nations, his glory above the heavens.

High is the Lord above all nations, above the heavens is his glory.

5 Who is like YHWH, our God, who has his seat on high,

Who is like the Lord our God, seated on high?

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

He bends down to look at the heavens and earth.

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

He raises the weak from the dust, he lifts the poor from the dunghill,

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

and sets them beside the princes, even the princes of his people.

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

He gives the childless woman a home, and makes her the happy mother of children. Hallelujah.
