Psalm 113 | English Standard Version

Who Is like the Lord Our God?

1 Praise the Lord! Praise, O servants of the Lord, praise the name of the Lord! 2 Blessed be the name of the Lord from this time forth and forevermore! 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 on 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!

New International Reader’s Version
1 Praise the LORD. Praise him, you who serve the LORD. Praise the name of the LORD. 2 Let us praise the name of the LORD, both now and for ever. 3 From the sunrise in the east to the sunset in the west, may the name of the LORD be praised. 4 The LORD is honoured over all the nations. His glory reaches to the highest heavens. 5 Who is like the LORD our God? He sits on his throne in heaven. 6 He bends down to look at the heavens and the earth. 7 He raises poor people up from the rubbish heap. He lifts needy people out of the ashes. 8 He causes them to sit with princes. He causes them to sit with the princes of his people. 9 He gives children to the woman who doesn’t have any children. He makes her a happy mother in her own home. Praise the LORD.
