| 1 | Praise the Lord, ye children: praise ye the name of the Lord. |
| 2 | Blessed be the name of the Lord, from henceforth now and for ever. |
| 3 | From the rising of the sun unto the going down of the same, the name of the Lord is worthy of praise. |
| 4 | The Lord is high above all nations; and his glory above the heavens. |
| 5 | Who is as the Lord our God, who dwelleth on high: |
| 6 | And looketh down on the low things in heaven and in earth? |
| 7 | Raising up the needy from the earth, and lifting up the poor out of the dunghill: |
| 8 | That he may place him with princes, with the princes of his people. |
| 9 | Who maketh a barren woman to dwell in a house, the joyful mother of children. |
