Psalms 113

Psalm 113 ESV

An exhortation to praise God for his merciful condescension to his creatures.
1 1Praise the Lord! 2Praise, O 3servants of the Lord, praise the name of the Lord!
2 1Blessed be the name of the Lord from this time forth and forevermore!
3 1From the rising of the sun to its setting, 2the name of the Lord is 3to be praised!
4 The Lord is 1high above all nations, and his 2glory above the heavens!
5 1Who is like the Lord our God, who is seated on high,
6 who 1looks far down on the heavens and the earth?
7 He 1raises the poor from the dust and lifts the needy from the ash heap,
8 to make them 1sit with princes, with the princes of his people.
9 He 1gives the barren woman a home, making her the joyous mother of children. 2Praise the Lord!
