1 Praise the LORD .1 113:1 Hebrew Hallelu Yah ; also in verse |
2 Let the name of the LORD be praised,
both now and forevermore. |
3 From the rising of the sun to the place where it sets,
the name of the LORD is to be praised. |
4 The LORD is exalted over all the nations,
his glory above the heavens. |
5 Who is like the LORD our God,
the One who sits 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 ash heap; |
8 he seats them with princes,
with the princes of their people. |
9 He settles the barren woman in her home
as a happy mother of children. |
