Psalms 113

CATHOLIC PUBLIC DOMAIN	Pattloch Bibel
1 Alleluia. At the departure of Israel from Egypt, the house of Jacob from a barbarous people:	1 [Hallelujah!] Lobet, ihr Diener des Herrn, lobet den Namen des Herrn!
2 Judea was made his sanctuary; Israel was made his power.	2 Gepriesen sei der Name des Herrn von nun an bis in Ewigkeit!
3 The sea looked, and it fled. The Jordan was turned back again.	3 Vom Aufgang der Sonne bis zu ihrem Untergang sei gelobt der Name des Herrn!
4 The mountains exulted like rams, and the hills like lambs among the sheep.	4 Erhaben über alle Völker ist der Herr, über den Himmel seine Herrlichkeit.
5 What happened to you, O sea, so that you fled, and to you, O Jordan, so that you were turned back again?	5 Wer gleicht dem Herrn, unserm Gott, der in der Höhe thront,
6 What happened to you, O mountains, so that you exulted like rams, and to you, O hills, so that you exulted like lambs among the sheep?	6 der in die Tiefe schaut im Himmel und auf Erden?
7 Before the face of the Lord, the earth was moved, before the face of the God of Jacob.	7 Er erhebt aus dem Staub den Geringen, erhöht aus dem Schmutz den Armen,
8 He converted the rock into pools of water, and the cliff into fountains of waters.	8 um ihn neben Fürsten zu setzen, neben die Fürsten seines Volkes.
9 Not to us, O Lord, not to us, but to your name give glory.	9 Er läßt die Kinderlose in der Familie glücklich wohnen als frohe Mutter von Söhnen. - [Hallelujah!]
10 Give glory to your mercy and your truth, lest the Gentiles should say, “Where is their God?”
11 But our God is in heaven. All things whatsoever that he has willed, he has done.
12 The idols of the nations are silver and gold, the works of the hands of men.
13 They have mouths, and do not speak; they have eyes, and do not see.
14 They have ears, and do not hear; they have noses, and do not smell.
15 They have hands, and do not feel; they have feet, and do not walk. Neither will they cry out with their throat.
16 Let those who make them become like them, along with all who trust in them.
17 The house of Israel has hoped in the Lord. He is their helper and their protector.
18 The house of Aaron has hoped in the Lord. He is their helper and their protector.
19 Those who fear the Lord have hoped in the Lord. He is their helper and their protector.
20 The Lord has been mindful of us, and he has blessed us. He has blessed the house of Israel. He has blessed the house of Aaron.
21 He has blessed all who fear the Lord, the small with the great.
22 May the Lord add blessings upon you: upon you, and upon your sons.
23 Blessed are you by the Lord, who made heaven and earth.
24 The heaven of heaven is for the Lord, but the earth he has given to the sons of men.
25 The dead will not praise you, Lord, and neither will all those who descend into Hell.
26 But we who live will bless the Lord, from this time forward, and even forever.
