1 Praise the Lord, you⌃ servants of his, praise, the name of the Lord.

2 Let the name of the Lord be blessed, from this present time and for ever.

3 From the rising of the sun to his setting, the name of the Lord is to be praised.

4 The Lord is high above all the nations; his glory is above the heavens.

5 Who is as the Lord our God? who dwells in the high places,

6 and yet looks upon the low things in heaven, and on the earth:

7 who lifts up the poor from the earth, and raises up the needy from the dunghill;

8 to set him with princes, even with the princes of his people:

9 who settles the barren woman in a house, as a mother rejoicing over children.
