1 Halelu-JAH. Praise, O ye slaves of the Lord, praise the name of the Lord.

2 Blessed be the name of the Lord from this time forth and for evermore.

3 From the rising of the sun unto the going down of the same, the Lord’s name is to be praised.

4 The Lord is high above all Gentiles and his glory above the heavens.

5 Who is like unto the Lord our God, who dwells on high,

6 who humbles himself to behold the things that are in heaven and in the earth!

7 He raises up the poor out of the dust and lifts the destitute out of the dunghill;

8 that he may set him with princes, even with the princes of his people.

9 He makes the barren woman to keep house and to be a joyful mother of sons. Halelu-JAH.
