| 1Praise ye the LORD. Praise, O ye servants of the LORD, praise the name of the LORD. | 1Hallelujah! Give praise, you servants of the LORD. Praise the name of the LORD! |
| 2Blessed be the name of the LORD from this time forth and for evermore. | 2May the name of the LORD be blessed from now to eternity. |
| 3From the rising of the sun unto the going down of the same the LORD'S name is to be praised. | 3From rising to setting sun, may the name of the LORD be praised. |
| 4The LORD is high above all nations, and his glory above the heavens. | 4The LORD is exalted high above all the nations; his glory beyond the heavens. |
| 5Who is like unto the LORD our God, who dwelleth on high, | 5Who is like the LORD our God, enthroned on high, |
| 6Who humbleth himself to behold the things that are in heaven, and in the earth! | 6yet stooping low to observe the sky and the earth? |
| 7He raiseth up the poor out of the dust, and lifteth the needy out of the dunghill; | 7He lifts the poor person from the dust, raising the needy from the trash pile |
| 8That he may set him with princes, even with the princes of his people. | 8and giving him a seat among nobles— with the nobles of his people. |
| 9He maketh the barren woman to keep house, and to be a joyful mother of children. Praise ye the LORD. | 9He makes the barren woman among her household a happy mother of joyful children. Hallelujah! |
