Yes, give praise, O servants of the Lord.
    Praise the name of the Lord!
² Blessed be the name of the Lord
    now and forever.

⁴ For the Lord is high above the nations;
    his glory is higher than the heavens.

⁵ Who can be compared with the Lord our God,
    who is enthroned on high?
⁶ He stoops to look down
    on heaven and on earth.

⁷ He lifts the poor from the dust
    and the needy from the garbage dump.
⁸ He sets them among princes,
    even the princes of his own people!
