1 Praise ye Jehovah. Praise, O ye servants of Jehovah. Praise the name of Jehovah.

2 Blessed be the name of Jehovah from this time forth and for evermore.

3 From the rising of the sun to the going down of the same Jehovah's name is to be praised.

4 Jehovah is high above all nations, and his glory above the heavens.

5 Who is like Jehovah our God who has his seat on high,

6 and yet looks upon the low things in heaven and in the earth.

7 He raises up a poor man out of the dust, and lifts up a needy man from the dunghill,

8 that he may set him with rulers, even with the rulers of his people.

9 He makes the barren woman to keep house, a joyful mother of sons. Praise ye Jehovah.
