The LORD Exalts the Humble.
1 Praise the LORD!
Praise, O servants of the LORD,
Praise the name of the LORD.
1 Praise the LORD!
Praise, O servants of the LORD,
Praise the name of the LORD.
2 Blessed be the name of the LORD
From this time forth and forever.
From this time forth and forever.
3 From the rising of the sun to its setting
The name of the LORD is to be praised.
The name of the LORD is to be praised.
4 The LORD is high above all nations;
His glory is above the heavens.
His glory is above the heavens.
5 Who is like the LORD our God,
Who is enthroned on high,
Who is enthroned on high,
6 Who humbles Himself to behold
The things that are in heaven and in the earth?
The things that are in heaven and in the earth?
7 He raises the poor from the dust
And lifts the needy from the ash heap,
And lifts the needy from the ash heap,
8 To make them sit with princes,
With the princes of His people.
With the princes of His people.
9 He makes the barren woman abide in the house
As a joyful mother of children.
Praise the LORD!
As a joyful mother of children.
Praise the LORD!
