Psalms 113
Theme: The scope of God’s care. God’s great mercy is demonstrated by his concern for the poor and the oppressed.
1Praise ye the LORD. Praise, O ye servants of the LORD, praise the name of the LORD. +
2Blessed be the name of the LORD from this time forth and for evermore. +
3From the rising of the sun unto the going down of the same the LORD’s name is to be praised. +
4The LORD is high above all nations, and his glory above the heavens. +
5Who is like unto the LORD our God, who dwelleth on high, +
6Who humbleth himself to behold the things that are in heaven, and in the earth! +
7He raiseth up the poor out of the dust, and lifteth the needy out of the dunghill; +
8That he may set him with princes, even with the princes of his people. +
9He maketh the barren woman to keep house, and to be a joyful mother of children. Praise ye the LORD. +
