Psalm 113
Praise of God’s Care for the Poor
1 Hallelujah!
I
Praise, you servants of the Lord,
praise the name of the Lord.
2 Blessed be the name of the Lord
both now and forever.
3 From the rising of the sun to its setting
let the name of the Lord be praised.
II
4 High above all nations is the Lord;
above the heavens his glory.
5 Who is like the Lord our God,
enthroned on high,
6 looking down on heaven and earth?
7 He raises the needy from the dust,
lifts the poor from the ash heap,
8 Seats them with princes,
the princes of the people,
9 Gives the childless wife a home,
the joyful mother of children.
Hallelujah!
