[113:1] Praise the Lord! You servants of the Lord, praise his name!
[113:2] May his name be praised, now and forever.
[113:3] From the east to the west praise the name of the Lord!
[113:4] The Lord rules over all nations; his glory is above the heavens.
[113:5] There is no one like the Lord our God. He lives in the heights above,
[113:6] but he bends down to see the heavens and the earth.
[113:7] He raises the poor from the dust; he lifts the needy from their misery
[113:8] and makes them companions of princes, the princes of his people.
[113:9] He honors the childless wife in her home; he makes her happy by giving her children. Praise the Lord!
