< Psalms 113 >
1 Praise JAH. Praise, you servants of YHWH, praise the name of YHWH.
Alleluia. Laudate pueri Dominum: laudate nomen Domini.
2 Blessed be the name of YHWH, from this time forth and forevermore.
Sit nomen Domini benedictum, ex hoc nunc, et usque in sæculum.
3 From the rising of the sun to the going down of the same, YHWH's name is to be praised.
A solis ortu usque ad occasum, laudabile nomen Domini.
4 YHWH is high above all nations, his glory above the heavens.
Excelsus super omnes gentes Dominus, et super cælos gloria eius.
5 Who is like YHWH, our God, who has his seat on high,
Quis sicut Dominus Deus noster, qui in altis habitat,
6 Who stoops down to see in heaven and in the earth?
et humilia respicit in cælo et in terra?
7 He raises up the poor out of the dust. Lifts up the needy from the ash heap;
Suscitans a terra inopem, et de stercore erigens pauperem:
8 that he may set him with princes, even 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 of children. Praise JAH.
Qui habitare facit sterilem in domo, matrem filiorum lætantem.
