PSALM 113

Praise the Lord, you who love him;

praise him who is beyond praise.

Bless him, sing out his praises

now and to the end of time.

Let all beings on earth and in heaven

fill the world with his praise.

Praise him, praise him, the Unnamable,

the All-Perfect, the Inconceivable,

who, higher than the highest heavens,

stoops to the lowest of the low,

who raises the poor from the dunghill

and lifts the wretched from the dust,

who grants them his infinite abundance

and showers them with all good things,

who gives the barren wife children

and overwhelms her with joy.
