< Psalms 113 >
1 Hallelujah! Give praise, O servants of the LORD; praise the name of the LORD.
Alleluja. Laudate, pueri, Dominum; laudate nomen Domini.
2 Blessed be the name of the LORD both now and forevermore.
Sit nomen Domini benedictum ex hoc nunc et usque in sæculum.
3 From where the sun rises to where it sets, the name of the LORD is praised.
A solis ortu usque ad occasum laudabile nomen Domini.
4 The LORD is exalted over all the nations, His glory above the heavens.
Excelsus super omnes gentes Dominus, et super cælos gloria ejus.
5 Who is like the LORD our God, the One enthroned on high?
Quis sicut Dominus Deus noster, qui in altis habitat,
6 He humbles Himself to behold the heavens and the earth.
et humilia respicit in cælo et in terra?
7 He raises the poor from the dust and lifts the needy from the dump
Suscitans a terra inopem, et de stercore erigens pauperem:
8 to seat them with nobles, with the princes of His people.
ut collocet eum cum principibus, cum principibus populi sui.
9 He settles the barren woman in her home as a joyful mother to her children. Hallelujah!
Qui habitare facit sterilem in domo, matrem filiorum lætantem.
