Psalm 113

Psalm 113 (New King James Version)

Psalm 113

The Majesty and Condescension of God

 ¹ Praise the LORD!
        
         Praise, O 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 to its going down
         The LORD’s name is to be praised.
        
 ⁴ The LORD is high above all nations,
         His glory above the heavens.
 ⁵ Who is like the LORD our God,
         Who dwells on high,
 ⁶ Who humbles Himself to behold
         The things that are in the heavens and in the earth?
        
 ⁷ He raises the poor out of the dust,
         And lifts the needy out of the ash heap,
 ⁸ That He may seat him with princes—
         With the princes of His people.
 ⁹ He grants the barren woman a home,
         Like a joyful mother of children.
        
         Praise the LORD!
