113
The LORD Exalts the Humble
(1 Samuel 1:1–8)
 
Hallelujah!*
 
Give praise, O servants of the LORD;
praise the name of the LORD.
Blessed be the name of the LORD
both now and forevermore.
From where the sun rises to where it sets,
the name of the LORD is praised.
 
The LORD is exalted over all the nations,
His glory above the heavens.
Who is like the LORD our God,
the One enthroned on high?
He humbles Himself to behold
the heavens and the earth.
 
He raises the poor from the dust
and lifts the needy from the dump
to seat them with nobles,
with the princes of His people.
He settles the barren woman in her home
as a joyful mother to her children.
 
Hallelujah!
* 113:1 Or Hallelu YAH, meaning Praise the LORD; also in verse 9
