From the Rising of the Sun

Psalm 113

Halleluyah! Praise, O servants of Adonai,
praise the Name of Adonai.
Blessed be the Name of Adonai
from now and forever.
From the rising of the sun to its going down
the Name of Adonai is to be praised.
Adonai is high above all nations,
His glory is above the heavens.
Who is like Adonai our God,
    enthroned on high,
who brings Himself down to look
    upon heaven and upon earth?
He raises the poor from the dust,
    lifts up the needy out of the dunghill,
to seat him with princes,
    with the princes of His people.
He settles the barren woman in her home
    as a joyful mother of children.
Halleluyah!

113 Praise ye the Lord. Praise, O ye servants of the Lord, praise the name of the Lord.

Blessed be the name of the Lord from this time forth and for evermore.

From the rising of the sun unto the going down of the same the Lord's name is to be praised.

The Lord is high above all nations, and his glory above the heavens.

Who is like unto the Lord our God, who dwelleth on high,

Who humbleth himself to behold the things that are in heaven, and in the earth!

He raiseth up the poor out of the dust, and lifteth the needy out of the dunghill;

That he may set him with princes, even with the princes of his people.

He maketh the barren woman to keep house, and to be a joyful mother of children. Praise ye the Lord.

With the princes of His people.

Like a joyful mother of children.
