Psalm Reading:  Psalm 113

Psalm 113

¹Praise the Lord.

Praise the Lord, you his servants;

praise the name of the Lord.

²Let the name of the Lord be praised,

both now and forevermore.

³From the rising of the sun to the place where it sets,

the name of the Lord is to be praised.

⁴The Lord is exalted over all the nations,

his glory above the heavens.

⁵Who is like the Lord our God,

the One who sits enthroned on high,

⁶who stoops down to look

on the heavens and the earth?

⁷He raises the poor from the dust

and lifts the needy from the ash heap;

⁸he seats them with princes,

with the princes of his people.

⁹He settles the childless woman in her home

as a happy mother of children.

Praise the Lord.
