Psalm 113

1 An exhortacion to praiſe the Lord for his prouidence. 7 In that that contrarie to the courſe of nature he worketh in his Church.
Praiſe ye the Lord.
1.PRaiſe, ô ye ſeruãts of the Lord, praiſe the Name of the Lord.
2.Bleſſed be the Name of the Lord from hence forthe and for euer.
3.The Lords Name is praiſed from the riſing of the ſunne vnto the going downe of the ſame.
4.The Lord is high aboue all nacions, & his glorie aboue the heauens.
5.Who is like vnto the Lord our God, that hathe his dwelling on high!
6.Who abaſeth him ſelf to beholde things in the heauen and in the earth.
7.He raiſeth the nedie out of the duſt, & lifteth vp the poore out of the dung,
8.That he maie ſet him with the princes, euen with the princes of his people.
9.He maketh the baren woman to dwell with a familie, & a ioyful mother of children. Praiſe ye the Lord.
