113 Praise ye Hashem. Praise O ye avadim of Hashem, praise the Shem of Hashem.

Blessed be the Shem of Hashem from this time forth and forevermore.

From the rising of the shemesh unto the going down of the same the Shem of Hashem is to be praised.

Hashem is high above kol Goyim, and His kavod above HaShomayim.

Who is like unto Hashem Eloheinu, Who dwelleth on high,

Who stoopeth down to behold the things that are in Shomayim, and in ha’aretz!

He raiseth up the poor out of the aphar (dust), and lifteth the needy out of the ash heap;

That he may seat him with princes, even with the princes of amo (His people).

He settleth the akeret (barren woman) in her bais to be a happy em of banim. Praise ye Hashem.

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.
