Psalms 113 GNV
Summary: The opening psalm of the "Egyptian Hallel" (113-118), traditionally sung at Passover, calling God's servants to praise his name "from this time forth and for evermore" and "from the rising of the sun unto the going down of the same" (v. 2-3). It marvels at a God so exalted "above all nations" yet who "humbleth himself to behold the things that are in heaven, and in the earth" (v. 5-6). It closes with two images of reversal: God raising the poor "out of the dust" and lifting the needy "out of the dunghill" to sit with princes, and making "the barren woman to keep house, and to be a joyful mother of children" (v. 7-9).
1Praise ye the Lord. Praise, O ye seruants of the Lord, prayse the Name of the Lord.
2Blessed be the Name of the Lord from hencefoorth and for euer.
3The Lordes Name is praysed from the rising of ye sunne, vnto ye going downe of the same.
4The Lord is high aboue all nations, and his glorie aboue the heauens.
5Who is like vnto the Lord our God, that hath his dwelling on high!
6Who abaseth himselfe to beholde things in the heauen and in the earth!
7He raiseth the needie out of the dust, and lifteth vp the poore out of the dung,
8That he may set him with the princes, euen with the princes of his people.
9He maketh the barren woman to dwell with a familie, and a ioyfull mother of children. Prayse ye the Lord.
