R/ (8) The Lord will give him a seat with the leaders of his people.
Or: Alleluia.
Praise, you servants of the Lord,
praise the name of the Lord.
Blessed be the name of the Lord
both now and forever. R/
From the rising to the setting of the sun
is the name of the Lord to be praised.
High above all nations is the Lord;
above the heavens is his glory. R/
Who is like the Lord, our God, who is enthroned
on high
and looks upon the heavens and the earth below? R/
He raises up the lowly from the dust;
from the dunghill he lifts up the poor
To seat them with princes,
with the princes of his own people. R/
Alleluia, alleluia. I chose you from the world,/ to go and bear fruit that will last, says the Lord. Alleluia, alleluia.
- It was not you who chose me, but I who chose you. l
