1 Alleluia. Servants, praise ye the Lord; praise ye the name of the Lord. 2 The name of the Lord be blessed; from this time now, and till into the world. 3 From the rising of the sun till to the going down; the name of the Lord is worthy to be praised. 4 The Lord is high above all folks; and his glory is above heavens. 5 Who is as our Lord God, that dwelleth in high things; 6 and beholdeth meek things in heaven and in earth? 7 Raising a needy man from the earth; and enhancing a poor man from drit. 8 That he set him with princes; with the princes of his people. 9 Which maketh a barren woman dwell in the house; a glad mother of sons.
