Alleluia. Praise the Lord, you servants [of his], praise, the name of the Lord.
2 Blessed be the name of the LORD from this time forth and for ever.

3 From the rising of the sun unto the going down thereof the LORD'S name is to be praised.

4 The LORD is high above all nations, His glory is above the heavens.
The Lord is high above all the nations; his glory is above the heavens.
5 Who is like unto the LORD our God, that is enthroned on high,
Who is as the Lord our God? who dwells in the high places,
6 That looketh down low upon heaven and upon the earth?
and [yet] looks upon the low things in heaven, and on the earth:
7 Who raiseth up the poor out of the dust, and lifteth up the needy out of the dunghill;
who lifts up the poor from the earth, and raises up the needy from the dunghill;
8 That He may set him with princes, even with the princes of His people.
to set him with princes, [even] with the princes of his people:
9 Who maketh the barren woman to dwell in her house as a joyful mother of children. Hallelujah.
who settles the barren [woman] in a house, [as] a mother rejoicing over children.
