| 1 | Let the Lord be praised. O you servants of the Lord, give praise to the name of the Lord. |
| 2 | Let blessing be on the name of the Lord, from this time and for ever. |
| 3 | From the coming up of the sun to its going down, the Lord's name is to be praised. |
| 4 | The Lord is high over all nations, and his glory is higher than the heavens. |
| 5 | Who is like the Lord our God, who is seated on high, |
| 6 | Looking down on the heavens, and on the earth? |
| 7 | He takes the poor man out of the dust, lifting him up from his low position; |
| 8 | To give him a place among the rulers, even with the rulers of his people. |
| 9 | He gives the unfertile woman a family, making her a happy mother of children. Give praise to the Lord. |
