Psalm 113

 

 

1                    Praise the LORD.[a]  Praise, O servants of the LORD, praise the name of the LORD.

 

2                    Let the name of the LORD be praised, both now and forevermore.

 

3                    From the rising of the sun to the place where it sets, the name of the LORD is to be praised.

 

4                    The LORD is exalted over all the nations, His glory above the heavens.

 

5                    Who is like the LORD our God, the One who sits enthroned on high,

 

6                    who stoops down to look on the heavens and the earth?

 

7                    He raises the poor from the dust and lifts the needy from the ash heap;

 

8                    He seats them with princes, with the princes of their people.

 

9                    He settles the barren woman in her home as a happy mother of children.  Praise the LORD.
