< Psalms 113 >
1 Hallelujah! Praise, ye servants of Jehovah, praise the name of Jehovah.
alleluia laudate pueri Dominum laudate nomen Domini
2 Blessed be the name of Jehovah, from this time forth and for evermore!
sit nomen Domini benedictum ex hoc nunc et usque in saeculum
3 From the rising of the sun unto the going down of the same, let Jehovah's name be praised.
a solis ortu usque ad occasum laudabile nomen Domini
4 Jehovah is high above all nations, his glory above the heavens.
excelsus super omnes gentes Dominus super caelos gloria eius
5 Who is like unto Jehovah our God, who hath placed his dwelling on high;
quis sicut Dominus Deus noster qui in altis habitat
6 Who humbleth himself to look on the heavens and on the earth?
et humilia respicit in caelo et in terra
7 He raiseth up the poor out of the dust; from the dung-hill he lifteth up the needy,
suscitans a terra inopem et de stercore erigens pauperem
8 To set [him] among nobles, among the nobles of his people.
ut conlocet eum cum principibus cum principibus populi sui
9 He maketh the barren woman to keep house, [as] a joyful mother of sons. Hallelujah!
qui habitare facit sterilem in domo matrem filiorum laetantem
