PSALM 113, by OLD TESTAMENT BIBLE First Line: Ye children of the lord, that wait Last Line: Under her roof with children blest. | |||
YE children of the Lord, that wait Upon His will, sing hymns divine, From henceforth to time's endless date, To His name, prais'd from the first shine Of the earth's sun, till it decline. The hosts of heaven or earth have none May to His height of glory rise; For who like Him hath fix'd His throne So high, yet bends down to the skies, And lower earth, His humble eyes? The poor from loathed dust He draws, And makes them regal state invest 'Mongst kings, that gives His people laws: He makes the barren mother rest Under her roof with children blest. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...PSALM 121 by OLD TESTAMENT BIBLE PSALM 136 by OLD TESTAMENT BIBLE PSALM 139 by OLD TESTAMENT BIBLE PSALM 8.
