1 Praise ye the LORD. Praise, O ye servants of the LORD, praise the name of the LORD.
2 Blessed be the name of the LORD from this time forth and for evermore.
3 From the rising of the sun unto the going down of the same the LORD�S name is to be praised.
4 The LORD is high above all nations, and his glory above the heavens.
5 Who is like unto the LORD our God, that hath his seat on high,
6 That humbleth himself to behold {cf15i the things that are} in heaven and in the earth?
7 He raiseth up the poor out of the dust, and lifteth up the needy from the dunghill;
8 That he may set him with princes, even with the princes of his people.
9 He maketh the barren woman to keep house, {cf15i and to be} a joyful mother of children. Praise ye the LORD.
