Psalms 113

1

Praise the LORD!1 Praise, you servants of the LORD,2 praise the LORD’s name.

2

Blessed be the LORD’s name, from this time forward and forever more.

3

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

4

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

5

Who is like the LORD, our God, who has his seat on high,

6

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

7

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

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 of children. Praise the LORD!1
