1 Praise Yahweh!

You people who serve Yahweh, praise him!

Praise ◄him/his name►!

2 Yahweh should be praised now and forever!

3 People who live in the east and people who live in the west,

everyone, should praise Yahweh [MTY]!

4 Yahweh rules [MTY] over all the nations,

and high in the heavens he shows that his glory is very great.

5 There is no one [RHQ] who is like Yahweh, our God,

who lives/sits/rules in the highest heaven,

6 and looks far down through the heavens and sees the people on the earth.

7 Sometimes he lifts poor people up so that they no longer sit in the dirt;

he helps needy people so that they no longer sit on heaps of ashes

8 and causes them to be honored by sitting next to princes,

the sons of the kings who rule their people.

9 He also enables women who have no children to have a family;

he causes them to be happy mothers.

Praise Yahweh!
