Psalms 113

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

6 He humbles Himself to behold the heavens and the earth.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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