Who Is like the Lord Our God?

1 Praise 1 the LORD!

Praise the name of the LORD!

2 b Blessed be the name of the LORD
From this time forth and forevermore!
3 c From the rising of the sun to its going down
The LORD's name is to be praised.

4 The LORD is d high above all nations,
e His glory above the heavens.
5 f Who is like the LORD our God,
Who dwells on high,
6 g Who humbles Himself to behold
The things that are in the heavens and in the earth?
7 h He raises the poor out of the dust,
And lifts the i needy out of the ash heap,
8 That He may j seat him with princes -
With the princes of His people.
9 k He grants the 2 barren woman a home,
Like a joyful mother of children.
Praise the LORD!
