Psalm 113:1-9
Hallelujah, God helps weak people
113:1The Jews call the next 6 psalms, 113 to 118, ‘the Egyptian hallel.’ ‘Hallel’ is a Hebrew word that means ‘to praise ’. Hallelujah means ‘Praise the Lord!’ Jews say these 6 psalms when they eat the Passover meal. That is when they remember how God brought the Israelite people out of Egypt, where they had been slaves .

the princes who rule his own people.
into a happy mother of children.
Hallelujah!
