1 Hallelujah! Give praise, O servants of the LORD; praise the name of the LORD.

Praise Yahweh. Praise him, you servants of Yahweh; praise the name of Yahweh.

2 Blessed be the name of the LORD both now and forevermore.

Blessed be the name of Yahweh, both now and forevermore.

3 From where the sun rises to where it sets, the name of the LORD is praised.

From the rising of the sun to its setting, Yahweh's name should be praised.

4 The LORD is exalted over all the nations, His glory above the heavens.

Yahweh is exalted above all nations, and his glory reaches above the skies.

5 Who is like the LORD our God, the One enthroned on high?

Who is like Yahweh our God, who has his seat on high,

6 He humbles Himself to behold the heavens and the earth.

who looks down at the sky and at the earth?

7 He raises the poor from the dust and lifts the needy from the dump

He raises up the poor out of the dirt and lifts up the needy from the ash heap,

8 to seat them with nobles, with the princes of His people.

so that he may seat him with princes, with the princes of his people.

9 He settles the barren woman in her home as a joyful mother to her children. Hallelujah!

He gives a home to the barren woman of the house, he makes her a joyful mother of children. Praise Yahweh!
