Psalms 113

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

Hallelujah! Give praise, O servants of the LORD; praise the name of the LORD.

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

Blessed be the name of the LORD both now and forevermore.

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

From where the sun rises to where it sets, the name of the LORD is praised.

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

The LORD is exalted over all the nations, His glory above the heavens.

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

Who is like the LORD our God, the One enthroned on high?

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

He humbles Himself to behold the heavens and the earth.

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

He raises the poor from the dust and lifts the needy from the dump

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

to seat them with nobles, with the princes of His people.

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

He settles the barren woman in her home as a joyful mother to her children. Hallelujah!
