Chapter overview
Psalm 113 stretches praise from sunrise to sunset and from heaven's heights toward society's lowest places. The poor receive dignity, the needy share honored company, and a childless woman rejoices within family.

1Praise the Lord! Praise him, servants of the Lord! Praise the Lord as he is!
2Let the Lord's nature be praised, now and forever.
3Let everyone everywhere, from the east to the west, praise the Lord as he is!
4The Lord rules supreme over all nations; his glory extends higher than the heavens.
5Who is like the Lord our God? He is the one who lives on high, seated on his throne.
6He has to stoop low to look down on the heavens and the earth.
7He helps the poor up from the dust; he lifts the needy from the dump.
8He gives them positions of honor together with important leaders, with leaders of his own people.
9He makes the childless woman happy in her home by giving her children. Praise the Lord!
