Psalms 113

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

1 Praise Yah! Praise, you servants of Yahweh, praise Yahweh’s name.

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

2 Blessed be Yahweh’s name, from this time forward and forever more.

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

3 From the rising of the sun to its going down, Yahweh’s name is to be praised.

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

4 Yahweh is high above all nations, his glory above the heavens.

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

5 Who is like Yahweh, our God, who has his seat on high,

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

6 who stoops down to see in heaven and on the earth?

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

7 He raises up the poor out of the dust, and lifts up the needy from the ash heap,

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 settles the barren woman in her home as a joyful mother of children. Praise Yah!
