Psalm 113
Alleluia.
Praise the Lord. Sing praises, you servants of the Lord; O praise the Name of the Lord.
Blessed be the Name of the Lord, from this time forth for evermore.
The Lord’s Name be praised from the rising up of the sun to the going down of the same.
The Lord is high above all nations, and his glory above the heavens.
Who is like the Lord our God, who has his dwelling so high, and yet humbles himself to behold the things that are in heaven and earth?
He takes up the lowly out of the dust, and lifts the poor out of the ashes,
That he may set them with the princes, even with the princes of his people.
He gives the barren woman a home to dwell in, and makes her to be a joyful mother of children. Praise the Lord.
