Psalms 113

1Let the Lord be praised. O you servants of the Lord, give praise to the name of the Lord.

1Hallelujah! Praise, ye servants of Jehovah, praise the name of Jehovah.

2Let blessing be on the name of the Lord, from this time and for ever.

2 Blessed be the name of Jehovah, from this time forth and for evermore!

3From the coming up of the sun to its going down, the Lord's name is to be praised.

3 From the rising of the sun unto the going down of the same, let Jehovah's name be praised.

4The Lord is high over all nations, and his glory is higher than the heavens.

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

5Who is like the Lord our God, who is seated on high,

5 Who is like unto Jehovah ourGod, who hath placed his dwelling on high;

6Looking down on the heavens, and on the earth?

6 Who humbleth himself to look on the heavens and on the earth?

7He takes the poor man out of the dust, lifting him up from his low position;

7 He raiseth up the poor out of the dust; from the dung-hill he lifteth up the needy,

8To give him a place among the rulers, even with the rulers of his people.

8 To set [him] among nobles, among the nobles of his people.

9He gives the unfertile woman a family, making her a happy mother of children. Give praise to the Lord.

9 He maketh the barren woman to keep house, [as] a joyful mother of sons. Hallelujah!
