1 Praise ye the LORD. Praise, O ye servants of the LORD, Praise the name of the LORD.

2 Blessed be the name of the LORD From this time forth and for evermore.

3 From the rising of the sun unto the going down of the same The LORD's name is to be praised.

4 The LORD is high above all nations, And his glory above the heavens.

5 Who is like unto the LORD our God, who dwelleth on high,

6 Who humbleth himself to behold the things that are in heaven, and in the earth!

7 He raiseth up the poor out of the dust, And lifteth the needy out of the dunghill;

8 That he may set him with princes, Even with the princes of his people.

9 He maketh the barren woman to keep house, And to be a joyful mother of children. Praise ye the LORD.
