Psalms 113 An Exhortation to Praise God for His Greatness and for His Goodness to the Poor

 Psalms 113

An Exhortation to Praise God for His Greatness and for His Goodness to the Poor

1 Praise the Lord. Praise, you servants of the Lord, praise the name of the Lord.

2 Blessed be the name of the Lord from this time forth and forevermore.

3 From the rising of the sun to its going down, let the name of the Lord be praised.

4 The Lord is exalted above all nations, and his glory above the heavens.

5 Who is like the Lord our God, who dwells on high;

6 Who stoops down to behold what is in the heavens and in the earth;

7 Who raises the lowly from the dust, and lifts the needy from the ash heap,

8 To make them sit with princes, even with the princes of his people;

9 Who makes the barren woman dwell in a house, and make her a joyful mother of children? Praise the Lord.
