Psalms 113

The Lord Helps People in Need

1 Shout praises to the Lord!
Everyone who serves him,
    come and praise his name.

2 Let the name of the Lord
    be praised now and forever.
3 From dawn until sunset
    the name of the Lord
    deserves to be praised.
4 The Lord is far above
    all of the nations;
    he is more glorious
    than the heavens.

5 No one can compare
    with the Lord our God.
His throne is high above,
6     and he looks down to see
    the heavens and the earth.
7 God lifts the poor and needy
    from dust and ashes,
8     and he lets them take part
    in ruling his people.
9 When a wife has no children,
    he blesses her with some,
and she is happy.
    Shout praises to the Lord!
