✧Praise the LORD! Praise, you servants of the LORD, praise the LORD’s name. ✧2Blessed be the LORD’s name, from this time forward and forever more. ✧3From the rising of the sun to its going down, the LORD’s name is to be praised. ✧4The LORD is high above all nations, his glory above the heavens. ✧5Who is like the LORD, our God, who has his seat on high, ✧6who stoops down to see in heaven and on the earth? ✧7He raises up the poor out of the dust, and lifts up the needy from the ash heap, ✧8that he may set him with princes, even with the princes of his people. ✧9He settles the barren woman in her home as a joyful mother of children. Praise the LORD!
