1 Praise ye the LORD. Praise, O ye servants of the LORD, praise the name of the LORD.

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 evermore.

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

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

4 The LORD is high above all nations, and his glory 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 hath his seat on high,

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

6 That humbleth himself to behold [the things that are] in heaven and in the earth?

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

7 He raiseth up the poor out of the dust, and lifteth up the needy from 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 He maketh the barren woman to keep house, [and to be] a joyful mother of children. Praise ye the LORD.

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