✧Praise ye the LORD. Praise, O ye servants of the LORD, praise the name of the LORD. ✧2Blessed be the name of the LORD from this time forth and for evermore. ✧3From the rising of the sun unto the going down of the same the LORD’s name [is] to be praised. ✧4The LORD [is] high above all nations, [and] his glory above the heavens. ✧5Who [is] like unto the LORD our God, who dwelleth on high, ✧6Who humbleth [himself] to behold [the things that are] in heaven, and in the earth! ✧7He raiseth up the poor out of the dust, [and] lifteth the needy out of the dunghill; ✧8That he may set [him] with princes, [even] with the princes of his people. ✧9He maketh the barren woman to keep house, [and to be] a joyful mother of children. Praise ye the LORD.
