Psalm 113

God the Helper of the Needy

¹Praise the Lord!
Praise, O servants of the Lord;
   praise the name of the Lord.

²Blessed be the name of the Lord
   from this time on and for evermore.
³From the rising of the sun to its setting
   the name of the Lord is to be praised.
⁴The Lord is high above all nations,
   and his glory above the heavens.

⁵Who is like the Lord our God,
   who is seated on high,
⁶who looks far down
   on the heavens and the earth?
⁷He raises the poor from the dust,
   and lifts the needy from the ash heap,
