Chapter 113
1 Hallelujah! Give praise, servants of the Lord ; praise the name of the Lord .
2 Let the name of the Lord be blessed both now and forever.
3 From the rising of the sun to its setting, let the name of the Lord be praised.
4 The Lord is exalted above all the nations, his glory above the heavens.
5 Who is like the Lord our God — the one 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 trash heap
8 in order to seat them with nobles — with the nobles of his people.
9 He gives the childless woman a household, making her the joyful mother of children. Hallelujah!
