Psalms - Chapter 113

Praise the Lord!

¹ Praise the LORD! Praise, O servants of the LORD, Praise the name of the LORD!

² Blessed be the name of the LORD From this time forth and forevermore!

³ From the rising of the sun to its going down The LORD's name [is] to be praised.

He is Glorious

⁴ The LORD [is] high above all nations, His glory above the heavens.

⁵ Who [is] like the LORD our God, Who dwells on high,

⁶ Who humbles Himself to behold [The things that are] in the heavens and in the earth?

Has Mercy on the Unfortunate

⁷ He raises the poor out of the dust, [And] lifts the needy out of the ash heap,

⁸ That He may seat [him] with princes -- With the princes of His people.

⁹ He grants the barren woman a home, Like a joyful mother of children. Praise the LORD!
