Psalms 113

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

who settles the barren [woman] in a house, [as] a mother rejoicing over children.
