Psalm 113

Surrey 8.8.8.8.8.8. (Henry Carey, 1687-1743)

1 O praise, you servants of the LORD;
sing praises to his holy name.
2 O blessèd be the name of God;
his praise for evermore proclaim.
3 From east to west the praise of God
each day is to be spread abroad.

4 The LORD is high above the earth,
his glory far above the sky.
5 Who else is like the LORD our God,
the one who sits enthroned on high?
6 He is the one who stoops down low
to look on heav’n and earth below.

7 He raises outcasts from the dust
and from the ash-heap lifts the poor,
8 Exalting them to dignity,
with the princes to sit secure.
9 The childless woman he’ll reward
with many children. Praise the LORD!

Sing Praise, alt.
