1 Praise Jehovah! You servants of Jehovah, praise him. Praise the name of Jehovah.
2 Blessed is the name of Jehovah from now and forever.
3 From sunrise to sunset, the name of Jehovah should be praised. (Everywhere and all the time, Jehovah's name should be praised.)
4 Jehovah is high above all the nations. His glory is above the heavens.
5 Who is like Jehovah our God? He is seated on his high throne.
6 He bends down (humbles himself) to look at heaven and earth.
7 He lifts the poor from the dust. He lifts the needy from a garbage heap.
8 He seats them with important people, with the leaders (princes) of his people.
9 He makes a childless woman a joyful mother. Praise Jehovah!
