The Lord will give him a seat with the leaders of his people.
Or:
Alleluia.

Verse 1:

Praise, you servants of the LORD,
   praise the name of the LORD.
Blessed be the name of the LORD
   both now and forever.

Verse 2:

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.

Verse 3:

Who is like the LORD, our God, who is enthroned on high
   and looks upon the heavens and the earth below?

To seat them with princes,
   with the princes of his own people.
