• The Majesty and Condescension of God

  • 1 Praise the Lord! Praise, O servants of the Lord, Praise the name of the Lord!
  • 2 Blessed be the name of the Lord From this time forth and forevermore!
  • 3 From the rising of the sun to its going down The Lord’s name is to be praised.
  • 4 The Lord is high above all nations, His glory above the heavens.
  • 5 Who is like the Lord our God, Who dwells on high,
  • 6 Who humbles Himself to behold The things that are in the heavens and in the earth?
  • 7 He raises the poor out of the dust, And lifts the needy out of the ash heap,
  • 8 That He may seat him with princes— With the princes of His people.
  • 9 He grants the barren woman a home, Like a joyful mother of children. Praise the Lord!
