Psalm 113


Hallelujah!
     Give praise, you servants of the LORD;
     praise the Name of the LORD.
Let the Name of the LORD be blessed,
     from this time forth for evermore.
From the rising of the sun to its going down
     let the Name of the LORD be praised.
The LORD is high above all nations,
     and his glory above the heavens.
Who is like the LORD our God, who sits enthroned on high,
     but stoops to behold the heavens and the earth?
He takes up the weak out of the dust
     and lifts up the poor from the ashes.
He sets them with the princes,
     with the princes of his people.
He makes the woman of a childless house
     to be a joyful mother of children.
