The LORD Exalts the Humble

¹ Hallelujah!

Give praise, O servants of the LORD;

praise the name of the LORD.

² Blessed be the name of the LORD

both now and forevermore.

³ From where the sun rises to where it sets,

the name of the LORD is praised.

⁴ The LORD is exalted over all the nations,

His glory above the heavens.

⁵ Who is like the LORD our God,

the One enthroned on high?

⁶ He humbles Himself to behold

the heavens and the earth.

⁷ He raises the poor from the dust

and lifts the needy from the dump

⁸ to seat them with nobles,

with the princes of His people.

⁹ He settles the barren woman in her home

as a joyful mother to her children.

Hallelujah!
