Psalm 113

Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition

² Blessed be the name of the Lord
    from this time forth and for evermore!
³ From the rising of the sun to its setting
    the name of the Lord is to be praised!
⁴ The Lord is high above all nations,
    and his glory above the heavens!

⁵ Who is like the Lord our God,
    who is seated on high,
⁶ who looks far down
    upon the heavens and the earth?
⁷ He raises the poor from the dust,
    and lifts the needy from the ash heap,
⁸ to make them sit with princes,
    with the princes of his people.
⁹ He gives the barren woman a home,
    making her the joyous mother of children.
Praise the Lord!
