PSALM 113
Common Meter: 8,6,8,6
1Praise God: ye servants of the Lord,
O praise, the Lord's name praise.
2Yea, blessed be the name of God
from this time forth always.
3From rising sun to where it sets,
God's name is to be prais'd.
4Above all nations God is high,
'bove heav'ns his glory rais'd.
5Unto the Lord our God that dwells
on high, who can compare?
6Himself that humbleth things to see
in heav'n and earth that are.
7He from the dust doth raise the poor,
that very low doth lie;
And from the dunghill lifts the man
oppress'd with poverty;
8That he may highly him advance,
and with the princes set;
With those that of his people are
the chief, ev'n princes great.
9The barren woman house to keep
he maketh, and to be
Of sons a mother full of joy.
Praise to the Lord give ye.

Psalms 113
113
1Praise the Lord! Praise him, servants of the Lord! Praise the Lord as he is!#113:1. “As he is!” literally, “name,” but this word in Hebrew means far more than simply an appellation, “name” is indicative of nature and character. Also in verses 2 and 3.
2Let the Lord's nature be praised, now and forever.
3Let everyone everywhere, from the east to the west,#113:3. Or “from sunrise to sunset.” 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#113:8. “Gives them positions of honor”: literally, “makes them sit.” together with important leaders,#113:8. “Important leaders”: literally, “princes.” with leaders of his own people.
9He makes the childless woman happy in her home by giving her children. Praise the Lord!
