The LORD Exalts the Humble
1Hallelujah!footnote aGive praise, O servants of the LORD;praise the name of the LORD. 2Blessed be the name of the LORDboth now and forevermore. 3From where the sun rises to where it sets,the name of the LORD is praised.
4The LORD is exalted over all the nations,His glory above the heavens. 5Who is like the LORD our God,the One enthroned on high? 6He humbles Himself to beholdthe heavens and the earth.
7He raises the poor from the dustand lifts the needy from the dump 8to seat them with nobles,with the princes of His people. 9He settles the barren woman in her homeas a joyful mother to her children.Hallelujah!
