2 Blessed be the Name of the Lord: from this time forth for evermore.

3 The Lord's Name is praised: from the rising up of the sun unto

the going down of the same.

4 The Lord is high above all heathen: and his glory above the

heavens.

5 Who is like unto the Lord our God, that hath his dwelling so

high: and yet humbleth himself to behold the things that are in

heaven and earth?

6 He taketh up the simple out of the dust: and lifteth the poor

out of the mire;

7 That he may set him with the princes: even with the princes of

his people.

8 He maketh the barren woman to keep house: and to be a joyful

mother of children.
