Salmos 113

Die Here verhef die geringes.

1 HALLELUJA! Loof, o knegte van die Here, loof die Naam van die Here!

2 Laat die Naam van die Here geprys word, van nou af tot in ewigheid!

3 Van die opgang van die son tot by sy ondergang moet die Naam van die Here geloof word!

4 Die Here is hoog bo al die nasies; bo die hemele is sy heerlikheid.

5 Wie is soos die Here onse God, wat hoog woon,

6 wat laag neersien, in die hemel en op die aarde?

7 Wat die geringe uit die stof oprig, die behoeftige van die ashoop af verhef;

8 om hom te laat sit by die edeles, by die edeles van sy volk.

9 Wat die onvrugbare van die huis laat woon — 'n blye moeder van kinders. Halleluja!

1 Praise ye Jehovah.

Praise, O ye servants of Jehovah,

Praise the name of Jehovah.

2 Blessed be the name of Jehovah

From this time forth and for evermore.

3 From the rising of the sun unto the going down of the same

Jehovah’s name is to be praised.

4 Jehovah is high above all nations,

And his glory above the heavens.

5 Who is like unto Jehovah our God,

That hath his seat on high,

6 That humbleth himself to behold

The things that are in heaven and in the earth?

7 He raiseth up the poor out of the dust,

And lifteth up the needy from the dunghill;

8 That he may set him with princes,

Even with the princes of his people.

9 He maketh the barren woman to keep house,

And to be a joyful mother of children.

Praise ye Jehovah.
