<Psalms 113

[1] Praise the Lord! Praise, O servants of the Lord, praise the name of the Lord!

[2] Blessed be the name of the Lord from this time forth and forevermore!

[3] From the rising of the sun to its setting, the name of the Lord is to be praised!

[4] The Lord is high above all nations, and his glory above the heavens!

[5] Who is like the Lord our God, who is seated on high,

[6] who looks far down on the heavens and the earth?

[7] He raises the poor from the dust and lifts the needy from the ash heap,

[8] to make them sit with princes, with the princes of his people.

[9] He gives the barren woman a home, making her the joyous mother of children. Praise the Lord!
