Psalm 113(NIV)

Psalm 113

1 Praise the Lord.  

Praise the Lord, you his servants; 

praise the name of the Lord. 

2 Let the name of the Lordbe praised, 

both now and forevermore.

3 From the rising of the sun to the place where it sets, 

the name of the Lordis to be praised. 

4 The Lordis exalted over all the nations, 

his glory above the heavens.

5 Who is like the Lordour God, 

the One who sits enthroned on high,

6 who stoops down to look 

on the heavens and the earth?

7 He raises the poor from the dust 

and lifts the needy from the ash heap;

8 he seats them with princes, 

with the princes of his people.

9 He settles the childless woman in her home 

as a happy mother of children.

Praise the Lord.
