Psalm 113

1Praise ye Jehovah.

Praise, O ye servants of Jehovah,

Praise the name of Jehovah.

2Blessed be the name of Jehovah

From this time forth and for evermore.

3From the rising of the sun unto the going down of the same

Jehovah’s name is to be praised.

4Jehovah is high above all nations,

And his glory above the heavens.

5Who is like unto Jehovah our God,

That hath his seat on high,

6That humbleth himself to behold

The things that are in heaven and in the earth?

7He raiseth up the poor out of the dust,

And lifteth up the needy from the dunghill;

8That he may set him with princes,

Even with the princes of his people.

9He maketh the barren woman to keep house,

And to be a joyful mother of children.

Praise ye Jehovah.

ASV

About American Standard Version

The ASV has long been regarded by many scholars as the most literal English translation since the King James Version—maybe the most literal translation ever. This has made the translation very popular for careful English Bible study, but not for ease of reading. While the KJV was translated entirely from “western manuscripts,” the ASV 1901 was influenced also by the older “eastern manuscripts” that form the basis for most of our modern English translations. Because the ASV 1901 is very difficult to find in print, Logos is pleased to be able to preserve and distribute this significant work. This is an excellent choice for comparative English study.
