PSALM 113 [†]  b Praise the LORD!

 c Praise, O  d servants of the LORD,

praise the name of the LORD!

2  e Blessed be the name of the LORD

from this time forth and forevermore!

3  f From the rising of the sun to its setting,

 g the name of the LORD is  h to be praised!

4[†] The LORD is  i high above all nations,

and his  j glory above the heavens!

5  k Who is like the LORD our God,

who is seated on high,

6 who  l looks far down

on the heavens and the earth?

7[^] He  m raises the poor from the dust

and lifts the needy from the ash heap,

8 to make them  n sit with princes,

with the princes of his people.

9 He  o gives the barren woman a home,

making her the joyous mother of children.

 b Praise the LORD!
