Psalms 113

1 Praise Yahweh! You people who serve Yahweh, praise him! Praise (him/his name)!

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

2 Yahweh should be praised now and forever!

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

3 People who live in the east and people who live in the west, everyone, should praise Yahweh [MTY]!

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

4 Yahweh rules [MTY] over all the nations, and high in the heavens he shows that his glory is very great.

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

5 There is no one [RHQ] who is like Yahweh, our God, who lives/sits/rules in the highest heaven,

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

6 and looks far down through the heavens and sees the [people on] the earth.

He bends down to look at the heavens and earth.

7 [Sometimes] he lifts poor people up [so that they no longer sit in] the dirt; he helps needy [people so that they no longer sit on] heaps of ashes

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

8 and causes them to [be honored] by sitting next to princes, the sons of the kings [who rule] their people.

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

9 He also enables women who have no children to have a family; he causes them to be happy mothers. Praise Yahweh!

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