Psalms



Psalm 113

   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!
