Psalms 113:1-9

Praise the LORD! (Hallelujah!) Praise, O servants of the LORD, Praise the name of the LORD. Blessed be the name of the LORD From this time forth and forever. From the rising of the sun to its setting The name of the LORD is to be praised [with awe-inspired reverence]. The LORD is high above all nations, And His glory above the heavens. ¶Who is like the LORD our God, Who is enthroned on high, Who humbles Himself to regard The heavens and the earth? [Ps 138:6; Is 57:15] He raises the poor out of the dust And lifts the needy from the ash heap, That He may seat them with princes, With the princes of His people. He makes the barren woman live in the house As a joyful mother of children. Praise the LORD! (Hallelujah!)
