Psalms 113
God the Helper of the Needy
1
Praise the LORD!
Praise, O servants of the LORD;
praise the name of the LORD.
2
Blessed be the name of the LORD
from this time on and forevermore.
3
From the rising of the sun to its setting
the name of the LORD is to be praised.
4
The LORD is high above all nations,
and his glory above the heavens.
5
Who is like the LORD our God,
who is seated on high,
6
who looks far down
on the heavens and the earth?
7
He raises the poor from the dust,
and lifts the needy from the ash heap,
8
to make them sit with princes,
with the princes of his people.
9
He gives the barren woman a home,
making her the joyous mother of children.
Praise the LORD!
