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!

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]
