God’s Majesty and Care for the Needy

113 Praise Yah![a]
Praise, O servants of Yahweh,
praise the name of Yahweh.
Let the name of Yahweh be blessed,
from now until forever.
From the rising of the sun to its setting,
let the name of Yahweh be blessed.
Yahweh is high above all nations;
his glory is above the heavens.
Who is like Yahweh our God,
who is enthroned on high,[b]
who condescends to look at[c]
what is in the heavens and in the earth?
He raises the helpless from the dust;
he lifts the needy from the ash heap,
to seat them with princes,
with the princes of his people.
He causes the barren woman of the house to dwell
as the happy mother of children.
Praise Yah![d]

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.

Alabanza a la bondad del Señor

113 ¡Aleluya!
Siervos del Señor, ¡alaben su nombre!

¡Bendito sea ahora y siempre
el nombre del Señor!
¡Alabado sea el nombre del Señor
del oriente al occidente!
El Señor está por encima de las naciones;
¡su gloria está por encima del cielo!

Nadie es comparable al Señor nuestro Dios,
que reina allá en lo alto;
y que, sin embargo, se inclina
para mirar el cielo y la tierra.
El Señor levanta del suelo al pobre,
y saca del lugar más bajo al necesitado
para sentarlo entre gente importante,
entre la gente importante de su pueblo.
A la mujer que no tuvo hijos
le da la alegría de ser madre
y de tener su propio hogar.

¡Aleluya!
