The Lord Exalts the Humble.
1 Praise the Lord! (Hallelujah!) Praise, O servants of the Lord, Praise the name of the Lord.
2 Blessed be the name of the Lord From this time forth and forever.
3 From the rising of the sun to its setting The name of the Lord is to be praised [with awe-inspired reverence].
4 The Lord is high above all nations, And His glory above the heavens.
5 Who is like the Lord our God, Who is enthroned on high,
6 Who humbles Himself to regard The heavens and the earth? [Ps 138:6; Is 57:15]
7 He raises the poor out of the dust And lifts the needy from the ash heap,
8 That He may seat them with princes, With the princes of His people.
9 He makes the barren woman live in the house As a joyful mother of children. Praise the Lord! (Hallelujah!)
