Psalm 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!
