< Psalms 113 >
1 Praise ye the LORD. Praise, O ye servants of the LORD, praise the name of the LORD.
alleluia laudate pueri Dominum laudate nomen Domini
2 Blessed be the name of the LORD 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 the LORD’S name is to be praised.
a solis ortu usque ad occasum laudabile nomen Domini
4 The LORD is high above all nations, and his glory above the heavens.
excelsus super omnes gentes Dominus super caelos gloria eius
5 Who is like unto the LORD our God, that hath his seat on high,
quis sicut Dominus Deus noster qui in altis habitat
6 That humbleth himself to behold [the things that are] in heaven and in the earth?
et humilia respicit in caelo et in terra
7 He raiseth up the poor out of the dust, and lifteth up the needy from the dunghill;
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 conlocet eum cum principibus cum principibus populi sui
9 He maketh the barren woman to keep house, [and to be] a joyful mother of children. Praise ye the LORD.
qui habitare facit sterilem in domo matrem filiorum laetantem
