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 forevermore.
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 look on the heavens and the earth?
7
He raises the poor from the dust and lifts the needy from the ash heap;
8
he seats them with princes, with the princes of his people.
9
He settles the childless woman in her home as a happy mother of children. Praise the Lord.
