1 Praise the Lord! Praise, O servants of the Lord. Praise the name of the Lord.

2 Blessed be the name of the Lord From this time forth and forever.

3 From the rising of the sun to its setting The name of the Lord is to be praised.

4 The Lord is high above all nations; His glory is above the heavens.

5 Who is like the Lord our God, Who is enthroned on high,

6 Who humbles Himself to behold [The things that are] in heaven and in the earth?

7 He raises the poor from the dust, And lifts the needy from the ash heap,

8 To make [them] sit with princes, With the princes of His people.

9 He makes the barren woman abide in the house [As] a joyful mother of children. Praise the Lord!
