Praise, O ye servants of Jehovah,
Praise the name of Jehovah.

From this time forth and for evermore.

And his glory above the heavens.

That hath his seat on high,
That humbleth himself {Or, to regard the heavens and the earth}to behold
The things that are in heaven and in the earth?
He raiseth up the poor out of the dust,
And lifteth up the needy from the dunghill;
That he may set him with princes,
Even with the princes of his people.
He maketh the barren woman to keep house,
And to be a joyful mother of children.
{Hebrew: Hallelujah.}Praise ye Jehovah.
