Psalm 113

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, you servants of the Lord, Praise the name of the Lord.
2Blessed be the name of the Lord From this time on and forever.
3From the rising of the sun to its setting, The name of the Lord is to be praised.
4The Lord is high above all nations; His glory is above the heavens.
5¶Who is like the Lord our God, Who is enthroned on high,
6Who looks far down to The heavens and the earth?
7He raises the poor from the dust, He lifts the needy from the garbage heap,
8To seat them with noblemen, With the noblemen of His people.
9He has the infertile woman live in the house As a joyful mother of children. Praise the Lord!
