1Praise the LORD. Praise him, you servants of the LORD. Praise the name of the LORD.
2Blessed be the name of the LORD, from this time on and for ever.
3From the rising of the sun to its going down, the name of the LORD is to be praised.
4The LORD is high above all nations, and his glory is above the heavens.
5Who is like the LORD our God, who lives on high,
6who bends low to look at the things that are in heaven and on the earth!
7He raises the poor out of the dust, and lifts the needy out of the dunghill,
8so that he may seat him with princes, even with the princes of his people.
9He gives the barren woman a home, and makes her a joyful mother of children. Praise the LORD.
