1 Hallelujah! Give praise, you servants of the LORD; praise the name of the LORD!
2 May the name of the LORD be blessed from now on and forever.
3 From where the sun rises to where it sets, the name of the LORD is worthy of praise.
4 The LORD is exalted over all nations; his glory is above the heavens.
5 Who is like the LORD our God, who is seated on high,
6 who bends low to look upon the heavens and the earth?
7 He lifts the poor out of the dust and raises the needy from the ash heap,
8 to give him a seat with nobles, with the nobles of his people.
9 He settles the childless woman in her house as a joyful mother of children. Hallelujah!
