Chapter 113

Praise God for his excellence


1

Praise ye the Lord. Praise, O ye servants of the Lord; praise the name of the Lord.

2

Blessed be the name of the Lord from this time forth and forevermore.

3

From the rising of the sun unto the going down of the same the Lord's name is to be praised.

4

The Lord is high above all nations, and his glory above the heavens.

5

Who is like unto the Lord, our God, who dwelleth on high,

6

Who humbleth himself to behold the things that are in heaven and in the earth!

7

He raiseth up the poor out of the dust and lifteth the needy out of the dunghill,

8

That he may set him with princes, even with the princes of his people.

9

He maketh the barren woman to keep house and to be a joyful mother of children. Praise ye the Lord.
