1 *Praise *the Lord!

Praise Him, you servants of the Lord,

Praise the name of the Lord.

2 Blessed be the name of the Lord

From this time on and forever.

3 From *the rising of the sun to its setting,

The name of the Lord is to be praised.

4 The Lord is high above all nations;

His glory is above the heavens.

5 Who is like the Lord our God,

Who is enthroned on high,

6 Who looks far down to

The heavens and the earth?

7 He raises the poor from the dust,

He lifts the needy from the garbage heap,

8 To seat them with noblemen,

With the noblemen of His people.

9 He has the infertile woman live in the house

As a joyful mother of children.

*Praise *the Lord!
