OUR FATHER IS WORTHY TO BE PRAISED

From Psalm 113

He lifts the poor from the ground

He gives the hungry what they need 

He settles empty homes with children

From the rising of the sun

To when it sets again

His glory shines above the heavens

Praise the Lord

Let His wonderous name be praised

Both now and forever

Exalt His holy name (x1) (x4)

2

New International Version

Psalm 113

1 Praise the Lord.[a]

Praise the Lord, you his servants;

    praise the name of the Lord.

2 Let the name of the Lord be praised,

    both now and forevermore.

3 From the rising of the sun to the place where it sets,

    the name of the Lord is to be praised.

4 The Lord is exalted over all the nations,

    his glory above the heavens.

5 Who is like the Lord our God,

    the One who sits enthroned on high,

6 who stoops down to look

    on the heavens and the earth?

7 He raises the poor from the dust

    and lifts the needy from the ash heap;

8 he seats them with princes,

    with the princes of his people.

9 He settles the childless woman in her home

    as a happy mother of children.

Praise the Lord.
