1 Praise the LORD. Praise, O
servants of the LORD, 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 their people.9 He settles the barren woman in
her home as a happy mother of children. Praise the LORD.
