Psalm 113

Praise him, you who serve the Lord.
Praise the name of the Lord.
² Let us praise the name of the Lord,
both now and forever.
³ From the sunrise in the east to the sunset in the west,
may the name of the Lord be praised.

⁴ The Lord is honored over all the nations.
His glory reaches to the highest heavens.
⁵ Who is like the Lord our God?
He sits on his throne in heaven.
⁶ He bends down to look
at the heavens and the earth.

⁷ He raises poor people up from the trash pile.
He lifts needy people out of the ashes.
⁸ He causes them to sit with princes.
He causes them to sit with the princes of his people.
⁹ He gives children to the woman who doesn’t have any children.
He makes her a happy mother in her own home.

Praise the Lord.
