Psalm 113

Praise to the Merciful God

Hallelujah!
Give praise, servants of Yahweh;
praise the name of Yahweh.(A)
Let the name of Yahweh be praised
both now and forever.(B)
From the rising of the sun to its setting,
let the name of Yahweh be praised.(C)

Yahweh is exalted above all the nations,(D)
His glory above the heavens.(E)
Who is like Yahweh our God—
the One enthroned on high,(F)
who stoops down to look
on the heavens and the earth?(G)
He raises the poor from the dust
and lifts the needy from the garbage pile(H)
in order to seat them with nobles—
with the nobles of His people.(I)
He gives the childless woman a household,
making her the joyful mother of children.(J)
Hallelujah!

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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