1 Praise the Lord!Praise, you servants of the Lord,praise the name of the Lord!
2 May the Lord’s name be praisednow and forevermore!
3 From east to westthe Lord’s name is deserving of praise.
4 The Lord is exalted over all the nations;his splendor reaches beyond the sky.
5 Who can compare to the Lord our God,who sits on a high throne?
6 He bends down to lookat the sky and the earth.
7 He raises the poor from the dirt,and lifts up the needy from the garbage pile,
8 that he might seat him with princes,with the princes of his people.
9 He makes the barren woman of the familya happy mother of children.Praise the Lord!
