Psalm 113
Authorized (King James) Version
Psalm 113
1 Praise ye the Lord.
Praise, O ye 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 unto the going down of the same
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 unto the Lord our God,
who dwelleth on high,
6 who humbleth himself to behold the things that are in heaven, and in the earth!
7 He raiseth up the poor out of the dust,
and lifteth the needy out of the dunghill;
8 that he may set him with princes,
even with the princes of his people.
9 He maketh the barren woman to keep house,
and to be a joyful mother of children.
Praise ye the Lord.
