< Psalms 113 >
1 Praise the LORD! Praise, you servants of the LORD, praise the LORD’s name.
Alleluja. [Laudate, pueri, Dominum; laudate nomen Domini.
2 Blessed be the LORD’s name, from this time forward and forever more.
Sit nomen Domini benedictum ex hoc nunc et usque in sæculum.
3 From the rising of the sun to its going down, 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, his glory above the heavens.
Excelsus super omnes gentes Dominus, et super cælos gloria ejus.
5 Who is like the LORD, 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, and 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 the LORD!
Qui habitare facit sterilem in domo, matrem filiorum lætantem.]
