Psalm 113

Gàidhlig

Salm 113

Molaibh-se Dia, O molaibh e,
  òglacha dìleas Dhè;
Ard-mholaibh fòs gu h-urramach
  deagh ainm Iehòbhah thrèin.

Ainm Dhè biodh beannaichte gu mòr,
  on àm seo is gu bràth.
O èirigh gu ruig laighe grèin',
  ainm Dhè ionmholta tha.

'S àrd thar gach tìr Iehòbhah mòr,
  's a ghlòir thar nèamhan fòs.
Cò 's coimeas ris an Tighearna
  ar Dia, tha chòmhnaidh shuas?

'S esan an neach a chromas sìos,
  's a dh'ìslicheas e fhèin,
Dh'amharc gach nì san talamh tha,
  's an nèamhan àrd' nan speur.

Togaidh e 'n deòradh truagh on dus;
  's am bochd on òtrach bhreun;
Gan cur nan suidh' le prionnsan àrd';
  le prionnsan phobaill fhèin.

Bheir e don mhnaoi a tha gun sliochd
  taigh còmhnaidh teaghlaich mhòir,
Gu bhith na màthair aoibhneach mhac.
  Molaibh-se Dia na glòir'.

Psalm 113

Praise Yahweh!
       Praise Yahweh, you his servants,
       praise the name of Yahweh.
Let Yahweh's name be blessed
       both now and forever.
From dawn to sunset
       let Yahweh's name be praised.
Supreme is Yahweh, over all nations,
       and his glory over the heavens.
Who can compare with Yahweh, our God?
       His throne stands on high,
       but he stoops to regard both heaven and earth.
He lifts the weak from the dust
       and raises the poor from the ashes,
to seat them with princes,
       with his people's princes.
He gives the barren woman a home
       as a happy mother of children.
       Praise Yahweh!
