Psalm 113

Modern English Version

Praise, O you servants of the Lord,
    praise the name of the Lord.
² Blessed be the name of the Lord
    from this time forth and for evermore.
³ From the rising of the sun to its going down,
    the Lord’s name 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 dwells on high,
⁶ who looks down on the things
    that are in heaven and on the earth?

⁷ He raises up the poor out of the dust
    and lifts the needy out of the ash heap,
⁸ to make them sit with princes,
    even with the princes of His people.
⁹ He gives the barren woman a dwelling,
    making her the joyful mother of children.

Praise the Lord!
