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.
