Psalms of David - Modern Translation - Psalm 113

Praise the Lord! Give praise, 
you servants of the Lord; 
praise the name of the Lord!

Praise be the name of the Lord, 
now and forever.

From the rising of the sun to its setting, 
the name of the Lord is to be praised.

The Lord is exalted above all nations, 
His glory above the heavens.

Who is like the Lord our God, 
enthroned on high,

Yet bending down 
to see the heavens and the earth?

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

To seat them with princes, 
with the rulers of His people.

He grants the childless a home, 
a joyful mother of children. 
Praise the Lord!
