The LORD Exalts the Humble

1(112:1) Alleluia. Praise the Lord, ye servants of his, praise, the name of the Lord.

2(112:2) Let the name of the Lord be blessed, from this present time and for ever.

3(112:3) From the rising of the sun to his setting, the name of the Lord is to be praised.

4(112:4) The Lord is high above all the nations; his glory is above the heavens.

5(112:5) Who is as the Lord our God? who dwells in the high places,

6(112:6) and yet looks upon the low things in heaven, and on the earth:

7(112:7) who lifts up the poor from the earth, and raises up the needy from the dunghill;

8(112:8) to set him with princes, even with the princes of his people:

9(112:9) who settles the barren woman in a house, as a mother rejoicing over children.
