Sunrise on the Nile

Psalm 113

Praise the Lord!

Praise, O servants of the Lord,

    praise the name of the Lord!

2 Blessed be the name of the Lord

    from this time forth and forevermore!

3 From the rising of the sun to its setting,

    the name of the Lord is to be praised!

 4 The Lord is high above all nations,

    and his glory above the heavens!

5 Who is like the Lord our God,

    who is seated on high,

6 who looks far down

    on the heavens and the earth?

  7 He raises the poor from the dust

    and lifts the needy from the ash heap,

8 to make them sit with princes,

    with the princes of his people.

9 He gives the barren woman a home,

    making her the joyous mother of children.

Praise the Lord!
