Psalms 113

1 Hallelujah! Praise, ye servants of Jehovah, praise the name of Jehovah.

Let the Lord be praised. O you servants of the Lord, give praise to the name of the Lord.

2 Blessed be the name of Jehovah, from this time forth and for evermore!

Let blessing be on the name of the Lord, from this time and for ever.

3 From the rising of the sun unto the going down of the same, let Jehovah's name be praised.

From the coming up of the sun to its going down, the Lord's name is to be praised.

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

The Lord is high over all nations, and his glory is higher than the heavens.

5 Who is like unto Jehovah our God, who hath placed his dwelling on high;

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

6 Who humbleth himself to look on the heavens and on the earth?

Looking down on the heavens, and on the earth?

7 He raiseth up the poor out of the dust; from the dung-hill he lifteth up the needy,

He takes the poor man out of the dust, lifting him up from his low position;

8 To set [him] among nobles, among the nobles of his people.

To give him a place among the rulers, even with the rulers of his people.

9 He maketh the barren woman to keep house, [as] a joyful mother of sons. Hallelujah!

He gives the unfertile woman a family, making her a happy mother of children. Give praise to the Lord.
