Chapter 113 :

God the Helper of the Needy

1 Praise the LORD!

Praise, O servants of the LORD;
praise the name of the LORD.

2 Blessed be the name of the LORD
from this time on and forevermore.

3 From the rising of the sun to its setting
the name of the LORD is to be praised.

4 The LORD is high above all nations,
and his glory above the heavens.

5 Who is like the LORD our God,
who is seated on high,

6 who looks far down
on the heavens and the earth?

7 He raises the poor from the dust,
and lifts the needy from the ash heap,

8 to make them sit with princes,
with the princes of his people.

9 He gives the barren woman a home,
making her the joyous mother of children.

Praise the LORD!
