1Praise ye LORD. Praise, O ye servants of LORD. Praise the name of LORD. 2Blessed be the name of LORD from this time forth and for evermore. 3From the rising of the sun to the going down of the same LORD's name is to be praised. 4LORD is high above all nations, and his glory above the heavens. 5Who is like LORD our God who has his seat on high, 6and [yet] looks upon the low things in heaven and in the earth. 7He raises up a poor man out of the dust, and lifts up a needy man from the dunghill, 8that he may set him with rulers, even with the rulers of his people. 9He makes the barren woman to keep house, a joyful mother of sons. Praise ye LORD.
