The Lord lifts up the humble
(1 Samuel 1:1-8)
1
Praise ye the Lord. Praise, O ye seruants of the Lord, prayse the Name of the Lord.
2
Blessed be the Name of the Lord from hencefoorth and for euer.
3
The Lordes Name is praysed from the rising of ye sunne, vnto ye going downe of the same.
4
The Lord is high aboue all nations, and his glorie aboue the heauens.
5
Who is like vnto the Lord our God, that hath his dwelling on high!
6
Who abaseth himselfe to beholde things in the heauen and in the earth!
7
He raiseth the needie out of the dust, and lifteth vp the poore out of the dung,
8
That he may set him with the princes, euen with the princes of his people.
9
He maketh the barren woman to dwell with a familie, and a ioyfull mother of children. Prayse ye the Lord.
