Psalms 113

₁Shout praises to the LORD!

Everyone who serves him,

come and praise his name.

₂Let the name of the LORD

be praised now and for ever.

₃From dawn until sunset

the name of the LORD

deserves to be praised.

₄The LORD is far above

all the nations;

he is more glorious

than the heavens.

₅No one can compare

with the LORD our God.

His throne is high above,

₆and he looks down to see

the heavens and the earth.

₇God lifts the poor and needy

from dust and ashes,

₈and he lets them take part

in ruling his people.

₉When a wife has no children,

he blesses her with some,

and she is happy.

Shout praises to the LORD!
