Praise the Lord, ye servants of his,

Praise the name of the Lord.

2 Let the name of the Lord be blessed,

From this present time and forever.

3 From the rising of the sun to his setting,

The name of the Lord is to be praised.

4 The Lord is high above all the nations;

His glory is above the heavens.

5 Who is as the Lord our God?

Who dwells in the high places,

6 And yet looks upon the low things in heaven,

And on the earth:

7 Who lifts up the poor from the earth,

And raises up the needy from the dunghill;

8 To set him with princes,

Even with the princes of his people:

9 Who settles the barren woman in a house,

As a mother rejoicing over children.
