Psalms 113

1Praise ye the Lord. Praise, O ye servants of the Lord, praise the name of the Lord.

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

2Blessed be the name of the Lord from this time forth and for evermore.

2Judea was made his sanctuary, Israel his dominion.

3From the rising of the sun unto the going down of the same the Lord’s name is to be praised.

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

4The Lord is high above all nations, and his glory above the heavens.

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

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

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

6Who humbleth himself to behold the things that are in heaven, and in the earth!

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

7He raiseth up the poor out of the dust, and lifteth the needy out of the dunghill;

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

8That he may set him with princes, even with the princes of his people.

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

9He maketh the barren woman to keep house, and to be a joyful mother of children. Praise ye the Lord.

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