Psalm 113 Praise the Lord!

1.  Praise the Lord!
    Praise, you servants of the Lord,
    Praise the name of the Lord!
    Blessed be the name of the Lord!
    Blessed be the name of the Lord
    From this time forth and forevermore.
    Praise the Lord! Praise the Lord!

2.  Praise the Lord!
    Thanks and praises sing to God,
    Day by day to the Lord!
    High above the nations is God,
    High above the nations is God,
    In glory high over earth and sky.
    Praise the Lord! Praise the Lord!

3.  Praise the Lord!
    Praise and glory give to God;
    Who is like unto God?
    Raising up the poor from the dust,
    Raising up the poor from the dust,
    In God's own heart and home they dwell.
    Praise the Lord! Praise the Lord!

4.  Praise the Lord!
    Praise, you servants of the Lord,
    Praise the love of the Lord!
    Giving to the homeless a home,
    Giving to the homeless a home,
    God fills their hearts with new hope and joy.
    Praise the Lord! Praise the Lord!
