1Praise the LORD! Praise, O servants of the LORD, praise the name of the LORD. 2Blessed [is] the name of the LORD from this time forth and forevermore. 3From the rising of the sun to its going down, the LORD's name [is] to be praised. 4The LORD [is] high above all nations, and His glory above the heavens. 5Who [is] like the LORD our God, who dwells on high, 6who humbles [Himself] to behold [the] [things] in the heavens and in the earth! 7He raises up the poor out of the dust, [and] lifts the needy out of the dunghill, 8in order to make him sit with nobles, with the nobles of his people. 9He causes the barren to dwell in the house [as] a joyful mother of sons. Praise the LORD!
