Psalm 113
JPS TaNaKH 1917
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.

1Hallelujah. 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 ever.
3From the rising of the sun unto the going down thereof the LORD'S name is to be praised.
4The LORD is high above all nations, His glory is above the heavens.
5Who is like unto the LORD our God, that is enthroned on high,
6That looketh down low upon heaven and upon the earth?
7Who raiseth up the poor out of the dust, and lifteth up the needy out of the dunghill;
8That He may set him with princes, even with the princes of His people.
9Who maketh the barren woman to dwell in her house as a joyful mother of children. Hallelujah.
