Psalm 113
Psalm 113
The Mighty Deliverer
Invitation to Praise
1Praise the Lord![]
Praise, you servants of the Lord,
praise the name of the Lord.
2Let the name of the Lord be blessed, from now to eternity.
3From the rising of the sun to its setting,
the name of the Lord is to be praised.
The Basis for Praise
4High above all the nations is the Lord.
His glory towers above the heavens.
5Who is like the Lord our God?
He is seated on high.
6He bends down to look at the heavens and at the earth.
7He raises the poor from the dust.
He lifts the needy from the garbage pile
8to seat them with nobles,
with the nobles of his people.
9He is the one who settles the barren woman in her home
as a joyful mother of children.
Praise the Lord![]
