1 Praise the LORD! Praise, you servants of the LORD, praise the LORD’s name.
2 Blessed be the LORD’s name, from this time forward and forever more.
3 From the rising of the sun to its going down, the LORD’s name is to be praised.
4 The LORD is high above all nations, his glory above the heavens.
5 Who is like the LORD, our God, who has his seat on high,
6 who stoops down to see in heaven and in the earth?
7 He raises up the poor out of the dust, and lifts up the needy from the ash heap,
8 that he may set him with princes, even with the princes of his people.
9 He settles the barren woman in her home as a joyful mother of children. Praise the LORD!
