Psalm 113
Words: Brady and Tate, A New Version of the Psalms of David
1 Ye saints and servants of the Lord,
the triumphs of his Name record:
2 His sacred Name for ever bless.
3 Where'er the circling sun displays
his rising beams or setting rays,
Due praise to his great Name address.
4 God through the world extends his sway,
the regions of eternal day
But shadows of his glory are.
5 With him, whose majesty excels,
who made the heav'n in which he dwells,
Let no created pow'r compare.
6 Though 'tis beneath his state to view
in highest heav'n what angels do,
Yet he to earth vouchsafes his care:
He takes the needy from his cell,
advancing him in courts to dwell,
companion to the greatest there.
7 When childless families despair,
he sends the blessing of an heir,
To rescue their expiring name;
Makes her that barren was to bear,
and joyfully her fruit to rear:
O then extol his matchless fame!
