1Praise ye the LORD. Praise, O ye servants of the LORD, praise the name of the LORD.2Blessed be the name of the LORD from this time forth and for evermore.3From the rising of the sun unto the going down of the same the LORD' name is to be praised.4The LORD is high above all nations, and his glory above the heavens.5Who is like unto the LORD our God, who dwelleth on high,6Who humbleth himself to behold the things that are in heaven, and in the earth!7He raiseth up the poor out of the dust, and lifteth the needy out of the dunghill;8That he may set him with princes, even with the princes of his people.9He maketh the barren woman to keep house, and to be a joyful mother of children. Praise ye the LORD.
Psalm 113
New International Reader’s Version
from Biblica1Praise the LORD. Praise him, you who serve the LORD. Praise the name of the LORD.2Let us praise the name of the LORD, both now and for ever.3From the sunrise in the east to the sunset in the west, may the name of the LORD be praised.4The LORD is honoured over all the nations. His glory reaches to the highest heavens.5Who is like the LORD our God? He sits on his throne in heaven.6He bends down to look at the heavens and the earth.7He raises poor people up from the rubbish heap. He lifts needy people out of the ashes.8He causes them to sit with princes. He causes them to sit with the princes of his people.9He gives children to the woman who doesn’t have any children. He makes her a happy mother in her own home. Praise the LORD.
