1 Praise Yahweh.

Praise him, you servants of Yahweh;

praise the name of Yahweh.

2 Blessed be the name of Yahweh,

both now and forevermore.

3 From the rising of the sun to its setting,

Yahweh's name should be praised.

4 Yahweh is exalted above all nations,

and his glory reaches above the skies.

5 Who is like Yahweh our God,

who has his seat on high,

6 who looks down

at the sky and at the earth?

7 He raises up the poor out of the dirt

and lifts up the needy from the ash heap,

8 so that he may seat him with princes,

with the princes of his people.

9 He gives a home to the barren woman of the house,

he makes her a joyful mother of children.

Praise Yahweh!
