Who Is like the Lord Our God?

113 (A)Praise the Lord!
(B)Praise, O (C)servants of the Lord,
    praise the name of the Lord!

(D)Blessed be the name of the Lord
    from this time forth and forevermore!
(E)From the rising of the sun to its setting,
    (F)the name of the Lord is (G)to be praised!

The Lord is (H)high above all nations,
    and his (I)glory above the heavens!
(J)Who is like the Lord our God,
    who is seated on high,
who (K)looks far down
    on the heavens and the earth?
He (L)raises the poor from the dust
    and lifts the needy from the ash heap,
to make them (M)sit with princes,
    with the princes of his people.
He (N)gives the barren woman a home,
    making her the joyous mother of children.
(O)Praise the Lord!

Praise for God’s Kindness

113 Praise the Lord!

Praise him, you servants of the Lord.
    Praise the name of the Lord.
The Lord’s name should be praised
    now and forever.
The Lord’s name should be praised
    from where the sun rises to where it sets.
The Lord is supreme over all the nations.
    His glory reaches to the skies.

No one is like the Lord our God.
    He rules from heaven.
He bends down to look
    at the skies and the earth.
The Lord lifts the poor from the dirt.
    He takes the helpless from the ashes.
And he seats them with princes,
    the princes of his people.
He gives children to the woman who has none.
    He makes her a happy mother.

Praise the Lord!
