Psalm 113

Praise to the Merciful God

Hallelujah!
Give praise, servants of the Lord;
praise the name of the Lord.(A)
Let the name of the Lord be blessed
both now and forever.(B)
From the rising of the sun to its setting,
let the name of the Lord be praised.(C)

The Lord is exalted above all the nations,(D)
his glory above the heavens.(E)
Who is like the Lord our God—
the one enthroned on high,(F)
who stoops down to look
on the heavens and the earth?(G)
He raises the poor from the dust
and lifts the needy from the trash heap(H)
in order to seat them with nobles—
with the nobles of his people.(I)
He gives the childless woman a household,
making her the joyful mother of children.(J)
Hallelujah!

The Majesty and Condescension of God

113 Praise[a] the Lord!

(A)Praise, O servants of the Lord,
Praise the name of the Lord!
(B)Blessed be the name of the Lord
From this time forth and forevermore!
(C)From the rising of the sun to its going down
The Lord’s name is to be praised.

The Lord is (D)high above all nations,
(E)His glory above the heavens.
(F)Who is like the Lord our God,
Who dwells on high,
(G)Who humbles Himself to behold
The things that are in the heavens and in the earth?

(H)He raises the poor out of the dust,
And lifts the (I)needy out of the ash heap,
That He may (J)seat him with princes—
With the princes of His people.
(K)He grants the [b]barren woman a home,
Like a joyful mother of children.

Praise the Lord!

Pagpupuri sa Kabutihan ng Dios

113 Purihin nʼyo ang Panginoon!
    Kayong mga lingkod ng Panginoon, purihin nʼyo siya!
Purihin nʼyo ang Panginoon,
    ngayon at magpakailanman.
Mula sa pagsikat hanggang sa paglubog ng araw,
    ang pangalan ng Panginoon ay dapat papurihan.

Maghahari ang Panginoon sa lahat ng bansa,
    ang kanyang kaluwalhatian ay hindi mapapantayan.
Walang katulad ang Panginoon na ating Dios,
    na nakaupo sa kanyang trono sa itaas.
Yumuyuko siya upang tingnan ang kalangitan at ang sanlibutan.
Tinutulungan niya ang mga dukha at nangangailangan sa kanilang kagipitan.
At silaʼy pinararangalang kasama ng mararangal na tao
    mula sa kanyang mga mamamayan.
Pinaliligaya niya ang baog na babae sa tahanan nito,
    sa pamamagitan ng pagbibigay sa kanya ng mga anak.

    Purihin ninyo ang Panginoon!
