Day 1 · The LORD Exalts the Humble
Psalm 113:1–9
1Hallelujah! Give praise, O servants of the LORD; praise the name of the LORD. 2Blessed be the name of the LORD both now and forevermore. 3From where the sun rises to where it sets, the name of the LORD is praised. 4The LORD is exalted over all the nations, His glory above the heavens. 5Who is like the LORD our God, the One enthroned on high? 6He humbles Himself to behold the heavens and the earth. 7He raises the poor from the dust and lifts the needy from the dump 8to seat them with nobles, with the princes of His people. 9He settles the barren woman in her home as a joyful mother to her children. Hallelujah!
