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.‡
