1Hallelujah! Give praise, you servants of the LORD. Praise the name of the LORD! | 1Praise the LORD! Yes, give praise, O servants of the LORD. Praise the name of the LORD! |
2May the name of the LORD be blessed from now to eternity. | 2Blessed be the name of the LORD now and forever. |
3From rising to setting sun, may the name of the LORD be praised. | 3Everywhere—from east to west— praise the name of the LORD. |
4The LORD is exalted high above all the nations; his glory beyond the heavens. | 4For the LORD is high above the nations; his glory is higher than the heavens. |
5Who is like the LORD our God, enthroned on high, | 5Who can be compared with the LORD our God, who is enthroned on high? |
6yet stooping low to observe the sky and the earth? | 6He stoops to look down on heaven and on earth. |
7He lifts the poor person from the dust, raising the needy from the trash pile | 7He lifts the poor from the dust and the needy from the garbage dump. |
8and giving him a seat among nobles— with the nobles of his people. | 8He sets them among princes, even the princes of his own people! |
9He makes the barren woman among her household a happy mother of joyful children. Hallelujah! | 9He gives the childless woman a family, making her a happy mother. Praise the LORD! |
