Psalm 113

Praise him, you who serve the Lord.
    Praise the name of the Lord.
² Let us praise the name of the Lord,
    both now and forever.
³ From the sunrise in the east to the sunset in the west,
    may the name of the Lord be praised.

⁴ The Lord is honored over all the nations.
    His glory reaches to the highest heavens.
⁵ Who is like the Lord our God?
    He sits on his throne in heaven.
⁶ He bends down to look
    at the heavens and the earth.

⁷ He raises poor people up from the trash pile.
    He lifts needy people out of the ashes.
⁸ He causes them to sit with princes.
    He causes them to sit with the princes of his people.
⁹ He gives children to the woman who doesn’t have any children.
    He makes her a happy mother in her own home.

Praise the Lord.
