Psalms 113

1 Praise the LORD! Praise, you servants of the LORD, praise the LORD’s name.

alleluia 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 saeculum

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 super caelos gloria eius

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 caelo 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 conlocet 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 laetantem
