1 P raise the Lord! Praise, O servants of the Lord, Praise the name of the Lord!

2 B lessed be the name of the Lord From this time forth and forevermore!

3 F rom the rising of the sun to its going down The Lord ’s name is to be praised.

4 T he Lord is high above all nations, His glory above the heavens.

5 W ho is like the Lord our God, Who dwells on high,

6 W ho humbles Himself to behold The things that are in the heavens and in the earth?

7 H e raises the poor out of the dust, And lifts the needy out of the ash heap,

8 T hat He may seat him with princes— With the princes of His people.

9 H e grants the barren woman a home, Like a joyful mother of children. Praise the Lord!
