Praise to the Loving God

1Hallelujah!

Give praise, you servants of the LORD.

Praise the name of the LORD!

2May the name of the LORD be blessed

from now to eternity.

3From risinga to settingb sun,

may the name of the LORD be praised.

4The LORD is exalted high above all the nations;

his glory beyond the heavens.

5Who is like the LORD our God,

enthroned on high,

6yet stooping low to observe

the sky and the earth?

7He lifts the poor person from the dust,

raising the needy from the trash pile

8and giving him a seat among nobles—

with the nobles of his people.

9He makes the barren woman among her household

a happy mother of joyful children.

Hallelujah!
