Psalms 113

1When Israel went out of Egypt, the house of Jacob from a barbarous people:

1Praise ye Jah! Praise, ye servants of Jehovah. Praise the name of Jehovah.

2Judea was made his sanctuary, Israel his dominion.

2The name of Jehovah is blessed, From henceforth, and unto the age.

3The sea saw and fled: Jordan was turned back.

3From the rising of the sun unto its going in, Praised <FI>is<Fi> the name of Jehovah.

4The mountains skipped like rams, and the hills like the lambs of the flock.

4High above all nations <FI>is<Fi> Jehovah, Above the heavens <FI>is<Fi> his honour.

5What ailed thee, O thou sea, that thou didst flee: and thou, O Jordan, that thou wast turned back?

5Who <FI>is<Fi> as Jehovah our God, He is exalting <FI>Himself<Fi> to sit?

6Ye mountains, that ye skipped like rams, and ye hills, like lambs of the flock?

6He is humbling <FI>Himself<Fi> to look On the heavens and on the earth.

7At the presence of the Lord the earth was moved, at the presence of the God of Jacob:

7He is raising up from the dust the poor, From a dunghill He exalteth the needy.

8Who turned the rock into pools of water, and the stony hill into fountains of waters.

8To cause to sit with princes, With the princes of His people.

9Not to us, O Lord, not to us; but to thy name give glory.

9Causing the barren one of the house to sit, A joyful mother of sons; praise ye Jah!

10For thy mercy, and for thy truth's sake: lest the Gentiles should say: Where is their God?

11But our God is in heaven: he hath done all things whatsoever he would.

20The Lord hath been mindful of us, and hath blessed us. He hath blessed the house of Israel: he hath blessed the house of Aaron.

22May the Lord add blessings upon you: upon you, and upon your children.

23(not in this translation)

24The heaven of heaven is the Lord's: but the earth he has given to the children of men.

25The dead shall not praise thee, O Lord: nor any of them that go down to hell.

26But we that live bless the Lord: from this time now and for ever.
