1Hallelujah! You who serve God, praise God! Just to speak his name is praise!

2Just to remember God is a blessing— now and tomorrow and always.

3From east to west, from dawn to dusk, keep lifting all your praises to God!

4God is higher than anything and anyone, outshining everything you can see in the skies.

5Who can compare with God, our God, so majestically enthroned,

6Surveying his magnificent heavens and earth?

7He picks up the poor from out of the dirt, rescues the wretched who've been thrown out with the trash,

8Seats them among the honored guests, a place of honor among the brightest and best.

9He gives childless couples a family, gives them joy as the parents of children. Hallelujah!
