Psalm 113

CEB

MSG

1 Praise the LORD! You who serve the LORD—praise! Praise the LORD's name!
1 Hallelujah! You who serve God, praise God! Just to speak his name is praise!
2 Let the LORD's name be blessed from now until forever from now!
2 Just to remember God is a blessing - now and tomorrow and always.
3 From sunrise to sunset, let the LORD's name be praised!
3 From east to west, from dawn to dusk, keep lifting all your praises to God!
4 The LORD is high over all the nations; God's glory is higher than the skies!
4 God is higher than anything and anyone, outshining everything you can see in the skies.
5 Who could possibly compare to the LORD our God? God rules from on high;
5 Who can compare with God, our God, so majestically enthroned,
6 he has to come down to even see heaven and earth!
6 Surveying his magnificent heavens and earth?
7 God lifts up the poor from the dirt and raises up the needy from the garbage pile
7 He picks up the poor from out of the dirt, rescues the wretched who've been thrown out with the trash,
8 to seat them with leaders— with the leaders of his own people!
8 Seats them among the honored guests, a place of honor among the brightest and best.
9 God nests the once barren woman at home— now a joyful mother with children! Praise the LORD!
9 He gives childless couples a family, gives them joy as the parents of children. Hallelujah!
