Psalm 113. Laudate, pueri.

1. PRAISE the Lord, ye servants; *
   O praise the Name of the Lord.
2. Blessed be the Name of the Lord *
   from this time forth for evermore.
3. The Lord's Name is praised *
   from the rising up of the sun unto the going down of the same.
4. The Lord is high above all nations, *
   and his glory above the heavens.
5. Who is like unto the Lord our God, that hath his dwelling so high, *
   and yet humbleth himself to behold the things that are in heaven and earth!
6. He taketh up the simple out of the dust, *
   and lifteth the poor out of the mire;
7. That he may set him with the princes, *
   even with the princes of his people.
8. He maketh the barren woman to keep house, *
   and to be a joyful mother of children.
