The text of the psalm

הַלְלוּ יָהּ הַלְלוּ עַבְדֵי יְהוָה הַלְלוּ אֶת־שֵׁם יְהוָֽה׃

Hallelujah. Praise, O ye servants of the LORD, Praise the name of the LORD.

יְהִי שֵׁם יְהוָה מְבֹרָךְ מֵעַתָּה וְעַד־עוֹלָֽם׃

Blessed be the name of the LORD From this time forth and for ever.

מִמִּזְרַח־שֶׁמֶשׁ עַד־מְבוֹאוֹ מְהֻלָּל שֵׁם יְהוָֽה׃

From the rising of the sun unto the going down thereof The LORD'S name is to be praised.

רָם עַל־כָּל־גּוֹיִם יְהוָה עַל הַשָּׁמַיִם כְּבוֹדֽוֹ׃

The LORD is high above all nations, His glory is above the heavens.

מִי כַּיהוָה אֱלֹהֵינוּ הַמַּגְבִּיהִי לָשָֽׁבֶת׃

Who is like unto the LORD our God, That is enthroned on high,

הַמַּשְׁפִּילִי לִרְאוֹת בַּשָּׁמַיִם וּבָאָֽרֶץ׃

That looketh down low Upon heaven and upon the earth?

מְקִימִי מֵעָפָר דָּל מֵאַשְׁפֹּת יָרִים אֶבְיֽוֹן׃

Who raiseth up the poor out of the dust, And lifteth up the needy out of the dunghill;

לְהוֹשִׁיבִי עִם־נְדִיבִים עִם נְדִיבֵי עַמּֽוֹ׃

That He may set him with princes, Even with the princes of His people.

מוֹשִׁיבִי עֲקֶרֶת הַבַּיִת אֵם־הַבָּנִים שְׂמֵחָה הַֽלְלוּ־יָֽהּ׃

Who maketh the barren woman to dwell in her house As a joyful mother of children. Hallelujah.
