Majority Standard Bible

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!

KJV

1 ¶ Praise ye the LORD. Praise, O ye servants of the LORD, praise the name of the LORD.

2 Blessed be the name of the LORD from this time forth and for evermore.

3 From the rising of the sun unto the going down of the same the LORD'S name [is] to be praised.

4 The LORD [is] high above all nations, [and] his glory above the heavens.

5 Who [is] like unto the LORD our God, who dwelleth on high,

6 Who humbleth [himself] to behold [the things that are] in heaven, and in the earth!

7 He raiseth up the poor out of the dust, [and] lifteth the needy out of the dunghill;

8 That he may set [him] with princes, [even] with the princes of his people.

9 He maketh the barren woman to keep house, [and to be] a joyful mother of children. Praise ye the LORD.

1545 Luther's English Bible (LED)

God gives grace to the humble.

1 hallelujah! Praise, ye servants of the LORD, praise the name of the LORD!

2 Blessed be the name of the LORD from henceforth even for ever.

3 From the rising of the sun even unto the going down of the same be the name of the LORD praised.

4 The LORD is high above all nations: his glory is as far as the heavens.

5 Who is like unto the LORD our God? Who hath set himself so high

6 And look upon the low things in heaven and in earth;

7 Who raiseth up the lowly out of the dust, and exalteth the poor out of the dung,

8 To set him beside the princes, beside the princes of his people;

9 Who maketh the barren to dwell in the house, that she may be a joyful mother of children. Hallelujah!
