113:1  Praise the LORD! Praise, O servants of the LORD, praise the name of the LORD!

113:2  Blessed be the name of the LORD from this time forth and for evermore!

113:3  From the rising of the sun to its setting the name of the LORD is to be praised!

113:4  The LORD is high above all nations, and his glory above the heavens!

113:5  Who is like the LORD our God, who is seated on high,

113:6  who looks far down upon the heavens and the earth?

113:7  He raises the poor from the dust, and lifts the needy from the ash heap,

113:8  to make them sit with princes, with the princes of his people.

113:9  He gives the barren woman a home, making her the joyous mother of children. Praise the LORD!
