Psalm 113

Hallelujah!

You servants of Yahweh, praise him.
    Praise the name of Yahweh.
Thank the name of Yahweh now and forever.
From where the sun rises to where the sun sets,
    the name of Yahweh should be praised.
Yahweh is high above all the nations.
    His glory is above the heavens.
Who is like Yahweh our Elohim?
    He is seated on his high throne.
He bends down to look at heaven and earth.
He lifts the poor from the dust.
    He lifts the needy from a garbage heap.
He seats them with influential people,
    with the influential leaders of his people.
He makes a woman who is in a childless home
    a joyful mother.

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.
