2 The Lord’s name should be praisednow and forever.
3 The Lord’s name should be praisedfrom where the sun rises to where it sets.
4 The Lord is supreme over all the nations;his glory reaches to the skies.
5 No one is like the Lord our God,who rules from heaven,
6 who bends down to lookat the skies and the earth.
7 The Lord lifts the poor from the dirtand takes the helpless from the ashes.
8 He seats them with princes,the princes of his people.
