² Blessed be the name of the Lord
    from this time on and forevermore.^(B)
3 From the rising of the sun to its setting,
    the name of the Lord is to be praised.^(C)
4 The Lord is high above all nations
    and his glory above the heavens.^(D)

⁵ Who is like the Lord our God,
    who is seated on high,^(E)
6 who looks far down
    on the heavens and the earth?^(F)
7 He raises the poor from the dust
    and lifts the needy from the ash heap,
⁸ to make them sit with princes,
    with the princes of his people.
⁹ He gives the barren woman a home,
    making her the joyous mother of children.
Praise the Lord!^(G)
