Psalm 113 - Psalms of David in Metre 1650 (Scottish Psalter)

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 prais'd.

⁴ Above all nations God is high, 'bove heav'ns his glory rais'd.

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 oppress'd 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.
