Chapter 113 To servants of the Lord

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.
