PSALM 113

¹Hallelujah.

          Praise, O servants of the LORD,

          praise the LORD’s name.

    ²May the LORD’s name be blessed

          now and forevermore.

    ³From the place the sun rises to where it sets,

          praised be the name of the LORD.

    ⁴High over all nations, the LORD,

          over the heavens His glory.

    ⁵Who is like the LORD our God,

          Who sits high above,

    ⁶Who sees down below

          in the heavens and on the earth?

    ⁷He raises the poor from the dust,

          from the dung-heap lifts the needy,

    ⁸to seat him among princes,

          among the princes of his people.

    ⁹He seats the barren woman in her home

          a happy mother of sons.

              Hallelujah.
