Psalm 113

Praise the Lord! (Hallelujah!) Praise, O servants of the Lord, praise the name of the Lord!

Blessed be the name of the Lord from this time forth and forever

From the rising of the sun to the going down of it and from east to west, the name of the Lord is to be praised!

The Lord is high above all nations, and His glory above the heavens!

Who is like the Lord our God, Who has His seat on high,

Who humbles Himself to regard the heavens and the earth!(A)

[The Lord] raises the poor out of the dust and lifts the needy from the ash heap and the dung hill,

That He may seat them with princes, even with the princes of His people.

He makes the barren woman to be a homemaker and a joyful mother of [spiritual] children. Praise the Lord! (Hallelujah!)

Psalm 113

Praise the Lord.[a](A)

Praise the Lord, you his servants;(B)
    praise the name of the Lord.
Let the name of the Lord be praised,(C)
    both now and forevermore.(D)
From the rising of the sun(E) to the place where it sets,
    the name of the Lord is to be praised.

The Lord is exalted(F) over all the nations,
    his glory above the heavens.(G)
Who is like the Lord our God,(H)
    the One who sits enthroned(I) on high,(J)
who stoops down to look(K)
    on the heavens and the earth?

He raises the poor(L) from the dust
    and lifts the needy(M) from the ash heap;
he seats them(N) with princes,
    with the princes of his people.
He settles the childless(O) woman in her home
    as a happy mother of children.

Praise the Lord.
