English translation (JPS 1917)
- He shall gnash with his teeth, and melt away;
- Blessed be the name of the LORD From this time forth and for ever.
- From the rising of the sun unto the going down thereof The LORD'S name is to be praised.
- The LORD is high above all nations, His glory is above the heavens.
- Who is like unto the LORD our God, That is enthroned on high,
- That looketh down low Upon heaven and upon the earth?
- Who raiseth up the poor out of the dust, And lifteth up the needy out of the dunghill;
- That He may set him with princes, Even with the princes of His people.
- Who maketh the barren woman to dwell in her house As a joyful mother of children. Hallelujah.
