Psalms113

Praise to the God Who Lifts Up the Poor

^1•Praise Yah! Praise, you servants of Yahweh, praise Yahweh’s name. ^2•Blessed be Yahweh’s name, from this time forward and forever more. ^3•From the rising of the sun to its going down, Yahweh’s name is to be praised. ^4•Yahweh is high above all nations, his glory above the heavens. ^5•Who is like Yahweh, our God, who has his seat on high, ^6•Who stoops down to see in heaven and in the earth? ^7•He raises up the poor out of the dust. Lifts up the needy from the ash heap, ^8•that he may set him with princes, even with the princes of his people. ^9•He settles the barren woman in her home as a joyful mother of children. Praise Yah!
