1 Haalleluuyaa. Yaa tajaajiltoota Waaqayyoo, galata galchaa; maqaa Waaqayyoo jajadhaa.

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

Blessed be the name of the LORD from this time forth and for evermore.

3 Baʼa biiftuutii hamma lixa biiftuutti, maqaan Waaqayyoo haa jajamu.

From the rising of the sun unto the going down of the same the LORD’s name [is] to be praised.

Who [is] like unto the LORD our God, who dwelleth on high,

6 Kan gad jedhee samii fi lafa ilaalu eenyu?

Who humbleth [himself] to behold [the things that are] in heaven, and in the earth!

He raiseth up the poor out of the dust, [and] lifteth the needy out of the dunghill;

8 inni bulchitoota gidduu, bulchitoota saba isaa gidduus isaan teessisa.

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