1

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

2

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

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.

5

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

6

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

7

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

8

That he may 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.
