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

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

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

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

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

6 W ho humbles Himself to behold The things that are in heaven and in the earth?

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

8 T o make them sit with princes, With the princes of His people.

9 H e makes the barren woman abide in the house As a joyful mother of children. Praise the Lord!
