Praise the Lord.[a]
Praise the Lord, you his servants;
praise the name of the Lord.
2
Let the name of the Lord be praised,
both now and forevermore.
3
From the rising of the sun to the place where it sets,
the name of the Lord is to be praised.
4
The Lord is exalted over all the nations,
his glory above the heavens.
5
Who is like the Lord our God,
the One who sits enthroned on high,
6
who stoops down to look
on the heavens and the earth?
7
He raises the poor from the dust
and lifts the needy from the ash heap;
8
he seats them with princes,
with the princes of his people.
9
He settles the childless woman in her home
as a happy mother of children.
Praise the Lord.
