1 Praise the Lord.Praise the Lord, you his servants;praise the name of the Lord.
2 Let the name of the Lord be praised,both now and for evermore.
3 From the rising of the sun to the place where it sets,the name of the Lord is to be praised.
4 The Lord is exalted over all the nations,his glory above the heavens.
5 Who is like the Lord our God,the One who sits enthroned on high,
6 who stoops down to lookon the heavens and the earth?
7 He raises the poor from the dustand lifts the needy from the ash heap;
