| 1 Praise the LORD! Praise, O servants of the LORD, Praise the name of the LORD! |
| 2 Blessed be the name of the LORD From this time forth and forevermore! |
| 3 From the rising of the sun to its going down The LORD'S name is to be praised. |
| 4 The LORD is high above all nations, His glory above the heavens. |
| 5 Who is like the LORD our God, Who dwells on high, |
| 6 Who humbles Himself to behold The things that are in the heavens and in the earth? |
| 7 He raises the poor out of the dust, And lifts the needy out of the ash heap, |
| 8 That He may seat him with princes--With the princes of His people. |
| 9 He grants the barren woman a home, Like a joyful mother of children. Praise the LORD! |
