1 Hallelujah!

You servants of the Lord, praise him.

Praise the name of the Lord.

2 Thank the name of the Lord now and forever.

3 From where the sun rises to where the sun sets,

the name of the Lord should be praised.

4 The Lord is high above all the nations.

His glory is above the heavens.

5 Who is like the Lord our God?

He is seated on his high throne.

6 He bends down to look at heaven and earth.

7 He lifts the poor from the dust.

He lifts the needy from a garbage heap.

8 He seats them with influential people,

with the influential leaders of his people.

9 He makes a woman who is in a childless home

a joyful mother.

Hallelujah!
