1 Praise the Lord! Yes, give praise, O servants of the Lord. Praise the name of the Lord!
2 Blessed be the name of the Lord now and forever.
3 Everywhere—from east to west—praise the name of the Lord.
4 For the Lord is high above the nations; his glory is higher than the heavens.
5 Who can be compared with the Lord our God, who is enthroned on high?
6 He stoops to look down on heaven and on earth.
7 He lifts the poor from the dust and the needy from the garbage dump.
8 He sets them among princes, even the princes of his own people!
9 He gives the childless woman a family, making her a happy mother.
Praise the Lord!
GOOD NEWS TRANSLATION
1 Praise the Lord! You servants of the Lord, praise his name!
2 May his name be praised, now and forever.
3 From the east to the west praise the name of the Lord!
4 The Lord rules over all nations; his glory is above the heavens.
5 There is no one like the Lord our God. He lives in the heights above,
6 but he bends down to see the heavens and the earth.
7 He raises the poor from the dust; he lifts the needy from their misery
8 and makes them companions of princes, the princes of his people.
9 He honors the childless wife in her home; he makes her happy by giving her children.
Praise the Lord!
