Psalms 113

1 Alleluia. Praise the Lord, ye servants [of his], praise, the name of the Lord.

alleluia laudate pueri Dominum laudate nomen Domini

2 Let the name of the Lord be blessed, from this present time and for ever.

sit nomen Domini benedictum ex hoc nunc et usque in saeculum

3 From the rising of the sun to his setting, the name of the Lord is to be praised.

a solis ortu usque ad occasum laudabile nomen Domini

4 The Lord is high above all the nations; his glory is above the heavens.

excelsus super omnes gentes Dominus super caelos gloria eius

5 Who is as the Lord our God? who dwells in the high places,

quis sicut Dominus Deus noster qui in altis habitat

6 and [yet] looks upon the low things in heaven, and on the earth:

et humilia respicit in caelo et in terra

7 who lifts up the poor from the earth, and raises up the needy from the dunghill;

suscitans a terra inopem et de stercore erigens pauperem

8 to set him with princes, [even] with the princes of his people:

ut conlocet eum cum principibus cum principibus populi sui

9 who settles the barren [woman] in a house, [as] a mother rejoicing over children.

qui habitare facit sterilem in domo matrem filiorum laetantem
