<Psalm 113

[1] Praise the Lord! Servants of the Lord, praise him! Praise the Lord’s name.

[2] May the Lord’s name be blessed, now and forever more.

[3] May the Lord’s name be praised from the rising sun in the east to the place where the sun goes down.

[4] The Lord is higher than all nations. His glory rises to the skies.

[5] No person is like the Lord our God. God sits high in heaven.

[6] ˻God is so high above us˼ that he must look down to see the sky and the earth,

[7] God lifts poor people out of the dirt. God takes beggars from the garbage dump.

[8] And God makes those people important. God makes those people important leaders.

[9] A woman might not have children. But God will give children to her and make her happy. Praise the Lord!
