1 Hallelujah. Praise, O ye servants of the Lord, praise ye the name of the Lord. 2 Let the name of the Lord be blessed from this time forth and for evermore. 3 From the rising of the sun unto his going down the name of the Lord is praised. 4 High above all nations is the Lord, above the heavens is his glory. 5 Who is like the Lord our God, who dwelleth on high? 6 Who condescendeth to view what is done in the heavens, and on the earth? 7 He raiseth up out of the dust the poor, from the dunghill he lifteth up the needy: 8 That he may set him with princes, even with the princes of his people. 9 He causeth the barren woman to dwell in the midst of [her] household, the joyful mother of children. Hallelujah.
