1 Praise ye the Lord.

Praise, O ye servants 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 nations,

And his glory above the heavens.

5 Who is like unto the Lord our God,

Who dwelleth on high,

6 Who humbleth himself to behold

The things that are in heaven, and in the earth?

7 He raiseth up the poor out of the dust,

And lifteth the needy out of the dunghill;

8 That he may set him with princes,

Even with the princes of his people.

9 He maketh the barren woman to keep house,

To be a joyful mother of children.

Praise ye the Lord.
