1 Praise the LORD.
Praise him, you who serve the LORD.
Praise the name of the LORD.
2 Let us praise the name of the LORD,
both now and forever.
3 From the sunrise in the east to the sunset in the west,
may the name of the LORD be praised.
4 The LORD is honored over all the nations.
His glory reaches to the highest heavens.
5 Who is like the LORD our God?
He sits on his throne in heaven.
6 He bends down to look
at the heavens and the earth.
7 He raises poor people up from the trash pile.
He lifts needy people out of the ashes.
8 He causes them to sit with princes.
He causes them to sit with the princes of his people.
9 He gives children to the woman who doesn’t have any children.
He makes her a happy mother in her own home.
Praise the LORD.
