2 Blessed be the Shem of Hashem from this time forth and forevermore.

3 From the rising of the shemesh unto the going down of the same the Shem of Hashem is to be praised.

4 Hashem is high above kol Goyim, and His kavod above HaShomayim.

5 Who is like unto Hashem Eloheinu, Who dwelleth on high,

6 Who stoopeth down to behold the things that are in Shomayim, and in ha'aretz!

7 He raiseth up the poor out of the aphar (dust), and lifteth the needy out of the ash heap;

8 That he may seat him with princes, even with the princes of amo (His people).

9 He settleth the akeret (barren woman) in her bais to be a happy em of banim. Praise ye Hashem.
