Praise the LORD, who is high above the nations, yet stoops to see the heavens and the earth. He raises the poor from the dust and gives the barren woman a home as a joyful mother of children.
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 , who dwelleth on high ,
6 Who humbleth himself to behold the things that are in heaven , and in the earth !
7 He raiseth up the poor out of the dust , and lifteth the needy out of 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 , and to be a joyful mother of children . Praise ye the LORD .
