 1  Praise God: ye servants of the Lord,
       O praise, the Lord's name praise.
 2  Yea, blessèd be the name of God
       from this time forth always.
 3  From rising sun to where it sets,
       God's name is to be praised.
 4  Above all nations God is high,
       'bove heav'ns his glory raised.

 5  Unto the Lord our God that dwells
       on high, who can compare?
 6  Himself that humbleth things to see
       in heav'n and earth that are.
 7  He from the dust doth raise the poor,
       that very low doth lie;
    And from the dunghill lifts the man
       oppressed with poverty;

 8  That he may highly him advance,
       and with the princes set;
    With those that of his people are
       the chief, ev'n princes great.
 9  The barren woman house to keep
       he maketh, and to be
    Of sons a mother full of joy.
       Praise to the Lord give ye.

2 Blessed be the name of the LORD from this time forth and for evermore.
3 From the rising of the sun unto the going down of the same the LORD'S name is to be praised.
4 The LORD is high above all nations, and his glory above the heavens.
5 Who is like unto the LORD our God, who dwelleth on high,
6 Who humbleth himself to behold the things that are in heaven, and in the earth!
