1 Hallelujah. Praise, O ye servants of the Lord, praise ye the name of the Lord.

Alleluia. Praise the Lord, you servants [of his], praise, the name of the Lord.

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

Let the name of the Lord be blessed, from this present time and for ever.

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.

The Lord is high above all the nations; his glory is above the heavens.

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

Who is as the Lord our God? who dwells in the high places,

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

and [yet] looks upon the low things in heaven, and on the earth:

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

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

who settles the barren [woman] in a house, [as] a mother rejoicing over children.
