Psalms 113

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

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

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

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

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

From the rising of the sun to the going down of the same the LORD’S name is to be praised.

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

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

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

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

6 He bends down to look at the heavens and earth.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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