1 Praise the Lord!Praise, O servants of the Lord,Praise the name of the Lord!
2 Blessed be the name of the LordFrom this time forth and forevermore!
3 From the rising of the sun to its going downThe 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 dwells on high,
6 Who humbles Himself to beholdThe things that are in the heavens and in the earth?
7 He raises the poor out of the dust,And lifts the needy out of the ash heap,
8 That He may seat him with princes—With the princes of His people.
9 He grants the barren woman a home,Like a joyful mother of children.Praise the Lord!
