1  ^fMay God be gracious to us and bless us

and ^gmake his face to shine upon us, Selah

2  that your way may be known on earth,

your ^hsaving power among all nations.

3  Let the peoples praise you, O God;

let ⁱall the peoples praise you!

4  Let the nations be glad and sing for joy,

for you ^jjudge the peoples with equity

and guide the nations upon earth. Selah

5  Let the peoples praise you, O God;

and ^ehis glory above the heavens!

5  ^fWho is like the Lord our God,

who is seated on high,

6  who looks far down

on the heavens and the earth?

7  ^gHe raises the poor from the dust

and lifts the needy from the ash heap,

8  to make them sit with princes,

with the princes of his people.

9  ^hHe gives the barren woman a home,

ⁱmaking her the joyous mother of children.

Praise the Lord!
