Hallelujah!
Give praise, you
servants of the LORD;
praise the Name
of the LORD.
Let the Name of the LORD be blessed,
from this time forth
for evermore.
From the rising of the sun to its going down
let the Name of
the LORD be praised.
The LORD is high above all nations,
and his glory above
the heavens.
Who is like the LORD our God, who sits enthroned on high,
but stoops to behold
the heavens and the earth?
He takes up the weak out of the dust
and lifts up the
poor from the ashes.
He sets them with the princes,
with the princes
of his people.
He makes the woman of a childless house
to be a joyful mother
of children.
