Psalms 113

¹ Hallelujah! Praise, you servants of the LORD, praise the name of the LORD.

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

³ From the rising of the sun to its setting let the name of the LORD be praised.

⁴ High above all nations is the LORD; above the heavens God's glory.

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

⁶ looking down on heaven and earth?

⁷ The LORD raises the needy from the dust, lifts the poor from the ash heap,

⁸ Seats them with princes, the princes of the people,

⁹ Gives the childless wife a home, the joyful mother of children. Hallelujah!
