The Lord Helps People in Need
1 Shout praises to the Lord!
Everyone who serves him,
come and praise his name.
2 Let the name of the Lord
be praised now and forever.
3 From dawn until sunset
the name of the Lord
deserves to be praised.
4 The Lord is far above
all of the nations;
he is more glorious
than the heavens.
5 No one can compare
with the Lord our God.
His throne is high above,
6 and he looks down to see
the heavens and the earth.
7 God lifts the poor and needy
from dust and ashes,
8 and he lets them take part
in ruling his people.
9 When a wife has no children,
he blesses her with some,
and she is happy.
Shout praises to the Lord!
Dievs pazemotajiem dod žēlastību
1 Slavējiet Kungu!
Slavējiet, Kunga kalpi,
slavējiet Kunga vārdu!
2 Lai Kunga vārds slavēts tagad un mūžīgi!
3 No saules lēkta līdz rietam jāslavē Kunga vārds!
4 Par visām tautām varenāks Kungs,
pār debesīm viņa godība!
5 Kas ir kā Kungs, mūsu Dievs!?
Kas vēl tik augstu sēdies,
6 kas vēl tik tālu saredz –
gan debesīs, gan uz zemes,
7 kas pieceļ no pīšļiem nabago
un no pelniem ceļ sērdieni kājās! –
8 nosēdina pie varenajiem,
pie savas tautas varenajiem! –
9 kas neauglīgo padara
par priecīgu dēlu māti?!
Slavējiet Kungu!
