Psalms 113

1 Alleluia. Praise the Lord, you 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 sæculum.

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, et super cælos 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 cælo 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 collocet 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 lætantem.
