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