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