^2 (D)Blessed be the name of the Lord
    from this time forth and forevermore!
^3 (E)From the rising of the sun to its setting,
    ^(F)the name of the Lord is ^(G)to be praised!

⁴ The Lord is ^(H)high above all nations,
    and his ^(I)glory above the heavens!
^5 (J)Who is like the Lord our God,
    who is seated on high,
⁶ who ^(K)looks far down
    on the heavens and the earth?
⁷ He ^(L)raises the poor from the dust
    and lifts the needy from the ash heap,
⁸ to make them ^(M)sit with princes,
    with the princes of his people.
⁹ He ^(N)gives the barren woman a home,
    making her the joyous mother of children.
^(O)Praise the Lord!
