The Majesty and Condescension of God
1 Praise theLord!
# Praise, O servants of theLord,
Praise the name of theLord!
2 Blessed be the name of theLord
From this time forth and forevermore!
3 From the rising of the sun to its going down
TheLord’s nameisto be praised.
4 TheLordishigh above all nations,
# His glory above the heavens.
5 Whoislike theLordour God,
Who dwells on high,
6 Who humbles Himself to behold
Thethingsthatarein the heavens and in the earth?
7 He raises the poor out of the dust,
# Andlifts theneedy out of the ash heap,
8 That He mayseathimwith princes—
With the princes of His people.
9 He grants the barren woman a home,
Like a joyful mother of children.
Praise theLord!
