Praise the Lord! Praise, O servants of the Lord, Praise the name of the Lord!
2 Blessed be the name of ADONAI from this moment on and forever!

Blessed be the name of the Lord From this time forth and forevermore!
3 From sunrise until sunset ADONAI's name is to be praised.

From the rising of the sun to its going down The Lord's name is to be praised.
4 ADONAI is high above all nations, his glory above the heavens.
4
The Lord is high above all nations, His glory above the heavens.
5 Who is like ADONAI our God, seated in the heights,
5
Who is like the Lord our God, Who dwells on high,
6 humbling himself to look on heaven and on earth.
6
Who humbles Himself to behold The things that are in the heavens and in the earth?
7 He raises the poor from the dust, lifts the needy from the rubbish heap,
7
He raises the poor out of the dust, And lifts the needy out of the ash heap,
8 in order to give him a place among princes, among the princes of his people.
8
That He may seat him with princes-- With the princes of His people.
9 He causes the childless woman to live at home happily as a mother of children. Halleluyah!
9
He grants the barren woman a home, Like a joyful mother of children. Praise the Lord!
