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. ^▼
