Psalm 113

₁Praise the Lord!

Praise, O servants of the Lord,

praise the name of the Lord!

₂Blessed be the name of the Lord

from this time forth and forevermore!

₃From the rising of the sun to its setting,

the name of the Lord is to be praised!

₄The Lord is high above all nations,

and his glory above the heavens!

₅Who is like the Lord our God,

who is seated on high,

₆who looks far down

on the heavens and the earth?

₇He raises the poor from the dust

and lifts the needy from the ash heap,

₈to make them sit with princes,

with the princes of his people.

₉He gives the barren woman a home,

making her the joyous mother of children.

Praise the Lord!
