1 Praise the Lord! Praise, O you servants of the Lord,praise the name of the Lord.
2 Blessed be the name of the Lordfrom this time forth and for evermore.
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,and His glory above the heavens.
5 Who is like the Lord our God,who dwells on high,
6 who looks down on the thingsthat are in heaven and on the earth?
7 He raises up the poor out of the dustand lifts the needy out of the ash heap,
8 to make them sit with princes,even with the princes of His people.
9 He gives the barren woman a dwelling,making her the joyful mother of children.Praise the Lord!
