International Standard Version

1 Hallelujah! Give praise, you servants of the LORD. Praise the name of the LORD!

2 May the name of the LORD be blessed from now to eternity.

3 From rising ^a to setting ^b sun, may the name of the LORD be praised.

4 The LORD is exalted high above all the nations; his glory beyond the heavens.

5 Who is like the LORD our God, enthroned on high,

6 yet stooping low to observe the sky and the earth?

7 He lifts the poor person from the dust, raising the needy from the trash pile

8 and giving him a seat among nobles— with the nobles of his people.

9 He makes the barren woman among her household a happy mother of joyful children. Hallelujah!
