1
Alleluia. Praise the Lord, ye servants of his, Praise the name of the Lord.
2
Let the name of the Lord be blessed, From this present time and forever.
3
From the rising of the sun to his setting, The name of the Lord is to be praised.
4
The Lord is high above all the nations; His glory is above the heavens.
5
Who is as the Lord our God? Who dwells in the high places,
6
And yet looks upon the low things in heaven, And on the earth:
7
Who lifts up the poor from the earth, And raises up the needy from the dunghill;
8
To set him with princes, Even with the princes of his people:
9
Who settles the barren woman in a house, As a mother rejoicing over children.
