Praise the?Lord, you his servants;

????the name of the?Lord?is to be praised.
4?The?Lord?is exalted?over all the nations,

5?Who is like the?Lord?our God,
????the One who sits enthroned?on high,
6?who stoops down to look
????on the heavens and the earth?
7?He raises the poor?from the dust
????and lifts the needy?from the ash heap;
8?he seats them?with princes,
????with the princes of his people.
9?He settles the childless?woman in her home
????as a happy mother of children.
Praise the?Lord.
