Praise the LORD. Praise, O servants of the LORD, praise the name of the LORD. 1
Let the name of the LORD be praised, both now and forevermore. 2
From the rising of the sun to the place where it sets, the name of the LORD is to be praised. 3
The LORD is exalted over all the nations, his glory above the heavens. 4
Who is like the LORD our God, the One who sits enthroned on high, 5
who stoops down to look on the heavens and the earth? 6
He raises the poor from the dust and lifts the needy from the ash heap; 7
he seats them with princes, with the princes of their people. 8
He settles the barren woman in her home as a happy mother of children. Praise the LORD. 9
