1 Praise the Lord.[a] 1 Praise, O servants of the Lord, 1 praise the name of the Lord.
2 Let the name of the Lord be praised, 2 both now and forevermore.
3 From the rising of the sun to the place where it sets, 3 the name of the Lord is to be praised.
4 The Lord is exalted over all the nations, 4 his glory above the heavens.
5 Who is like the Lord our God, 5 the One who sits enthroned on high,
6 who stoops down to look 6 on the heavens and the earth?
7 He raises the poor from the dust 7 and lifts the needy from the ash heap;
8 he seats them with princes, 8 with the princes of their people.
9 He settles the barren woman in her home 9 as a happy mother of children. 9 Praise the Lord.
