Praise the LORD! Praise, you servants of the LORD, praise the LORD’s name.

2 Let the name of the Lord be blessed from this time forth and for evermore.

3 From the rising of the sun unto his going down the name of the Lord is praised.

4 High above all nations is the Lord, above the heavens is his glory.

5 Who is like the Lord our God, who dwelleth on high?

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

6 Who condescendeth to view what is done in the heavens, and on the earth?

who stoops down to see in heaven and in the earth?

7 He raiseth up out of the dust the poor, from the dunghill he lifteth up the needy:

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

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

9 He causeth the barren woman to dwell in the midst of [her] household, the joyful mother of children. Hallelujah.

He settles the barren woman in her home as a joyful mother of children. Praise the LORD!
