¹Praise the LORD! Praise, you servants of the LORD, praise the LORD’s name.²Blessed be the LORD’s name, from this time forward and forever more.³From the rising of the sun to its going down, the LORD’s name is to be praised.⁴The LORD is high above all nations, his glory above the heavens.⁵Who is like the LORD, our God, who has his seat on high,⁶who stoops down to see in heaven and in the earth?⁷He raises up the poor out of the dust, and lifts up the needy from the ash heap,⁸that he may set him with princes, even with the princes of his people.⁹He settles the barren woman in her home as a joyful mother of children. Praise the LORD!
