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 on and forevermore.
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, and his glory above the heavens.
5	Who is like the LORD our God, who is seated on high,
6	who looks far down on the heavens and 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 gives the barren woman a home, making her the joyous mother of children. Praise the LORD!
