Psalms 113

1 Praise the Lord! Praise him, servants of the Lord! Praise the Lord's as he is!

alleluia laudate pueri Dominum laudate nomen Domini

2 Let the Lord's nature be praised, now and forever.

sit nomen Domini benedictum ex hoc nunc et usque in saeculum

3 Let everyone everywhere, from the east to the west, praise the Lord as he is!

a solis ortu usque ad occasum laudabile nomen Domini

4 The Lord rules supreme over all nations; his glory extends higher than the heavens.

excelsus super omnes gentes Dominus super caelos gloria eius

5 Who is like the Lord our God? He is the one who lives on high, seated on his throne.

quis sicut Dominus Deus noster qui in altis habitat

6 He has to stoop low to look down on the heavens and the earth.

et humilia respicit in caelo et in terra

7 He helps the poor up from the dust; he lifts the needy from the dump.

suscitans a terra inopem et de stercore erigens pauperem

8 He gives them positions of honor together important leaders, with leaders of his own people.

ut conlocet eum cum principibus cum principibus populi sui

9 He makes the childless woman happy in her home by giving her children. Praise the Lord!

qui habitare facit sterilem in domo matrem filiorum laetantem
