Psalm
113
[Recommended tunes: St Ethelreda, Irish, Bloxham, St Asaph]
|
1Praise God: ye servants of the Lord,
O praise, the Lord's name praise.
2Yea, blessed be the name of God
from this time forth always.
|
|
3From rising sun to where it sets,
God's name is to be prais'd.
4Above all nations God is high,
'bove heav'ns his glory rais'd.
|
|
5Unto the Lord our God that dwells
on high, who can compare?
6Himself that humbleth things to see
in heav'n and earth that are.
|
|
7He from the dust doth raise the poor,
that very low doth lie;
And
from the dunghill lifts the man
oppress'd with poverty;
|
|
8That he may highly him advance,
and with the princes set;
With
those that of his people are
the chief, ev'n princes great.
|
|
9The barren woman house to keep
he maketh, and to be
Of
sons a mother full of joy.
Praise to the Lord give ye.
