1 Praise ye the LORD. Praise, O ye servants of the LORD, praise the name of the LORD.*113.1 Praise ye…: Heb. Hallelujah

2 Blessed be the name of the LORD from this time forth and for evermore.

3 From the rising of the sun unto the going down of the same the LORD’s name is to be praised.

4 The LORD is high above all nations, and his glory above the heavens.

5 Who is like unto the LORD our God, who dwelleth on high,*113.5 dwelleth…: Heb. exalteth himself to dwell

6 Who 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 the needy out of 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 the LORD.*113.9 to keep…: Heb. to dwell in an house

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!
