The Lord Exalts the Humble.

1
(a)Praise (b)the Lord!
(A)Praise, O (B)servants of the Lord,
Praise the name of the Lord.
2
(C)Blessed be the name of the Lord
From this time forth and forever.
3
(D)From the rising of the sun to its setting
The (E)name of the Lord is to be praised.
4
The Lord is (F)high above all nations;
His (G)glory is above the heavens.
5
(H)Who is like the Lord our God,
Who (I)is enthroned on high,
6
Who (c)(J)humbles Himself to behold
The things that are in heaven and in the earth?
7
He (K)raises the poor from the dust
And lifts the needy from the ash heap,
8
To make them (L)sit with (d)princes,
With the (e)princes of His people.
9
He (M)makes the barren woman abide in the house
As a joyful mother of children.
(f)Praise (g)the Lord!
