Psalm 113

New English Translation

   1 Praise the LORD! Praise, you servants of the LORD, praise the name of the LORD!
   2 May the LORD's name be praised now and forevermore!
   3 From east to west the LORD's name is deserving of praise.
   4 The LORD is exalted over all the nations; his splendor reaches beyond the sky.
   5 Who can compare to the LORD our God, who sits on a high throne?
   6 He bends down to look at the sky and the earth.
   7 He raises the poor from the dirt, and lifts up the needy from the garbage pile,
   8 that he might seat him with princes, with the princes of his people.
   9 He makes the barren woman of the family a happy mother of children. Praise the LORD!

King James Version

   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.
