The L{ORD} Exalts the Humble.

1
Praise the LORD!
Praise, O servants of the LORD,
Praise the name of the LORD.

2
Blessed be the name of the LORD
From this time forth and forever.

3
From the rising of the sun to its setting
The name of the LORD is to be praised.

4
The LORD is high above all nations;
His glory is above the heavens.

5
Who is like the LORD our God,
Who is enthroned on high,

6
Who humbles Himself to behold
{The things that are} in heaven and in the earth?

7
He raises the poor from the dust
And lifts the needy from the ash heap,

8
To make {them} sit with princes,
With the princes of His people.

9
He makes the barren woman abide in the house
{As} a joyful mother of children.
Praise the LORD!
