Psalm 113

The Mighty Deliverer

Invitation to Praise

Praise the Lord.[a]

Praise, you servants of the Lord,
praise the name of the Lord.
Let the name of the Lord be blessed, from now to eternity.
From the rising of the sun to its setting,
    the name of the Lord is to be praised.

The Basis for Praise

High above all the nations is the Lord.
His glory towers above the heavens.
Who is like the Lord our God?
He is seated on high.
He bends down to look at the heavens and at the earth.
He raises the poor from the dust.
He lifts the needy from the garbage pile
    to seat them with nobles,
    with the nobles of his people.
He is the one who settles the barren woman in her home
    as a joyful mother of children.

Praise the Lord.
