1 Hallelujah! Give praise, servants of the LORD; praise the name of the LORD.
2 Let the name of the LORD be praised both now and forever.
3 From the rising of the sun to its setting, let the name of the LORD be praised.
4 The LORD is exalted above all the nations, His glory above the heavens.
5 Who is like the LORD our God-- the One enthroned on high,
6 who stoops down to look on the heavens and the earth?
7 He raises the poor from the dust and lifts the needy from the garbage pile
8 in order to seat them with nobles-- with the nobles of His people.
9 He gives the childless woman a household, making her the joyful mother of children. Hallelujah!
