Psalmorum 113

1 Alleluja. [Laudate, pueri, Dominum; laudate nomen Domini.

Praise ye the LORD! Praise, O ye servants of the LORD! Praise the name of the LORD!

2 Sit nomen Domini benedictum ex hoc nunc et usque in sæculum.

Blessed be the name of the LORD From this time forth, even for ever!

3 A solis ortu usque ad occasum laudabile nomen Domini.

From the rising of the sun to its going down, May the LORD'S name be praised!

4 Excelsus super omnes gentes Dominus, et super cælos gloria ejus.

The LORD is high above all nations; His glory is above the heavens.

5 Quis sicut Dominus Deus noster, qui in altis habitat,

Who is like the LORD, our God, That dwelleth on high,

6 et humilia respicit in cælo et in terra?

That looketh down low Upon the heavens and the earth?

7 Suscitans a terra inopem, et de stercore erigens pauperem:

He raiseth the poor from the dust, And exalteth the needy from the dunghill,

8 ut collocet eum cum principibus, cum principibus populi sui.

To set him among princes, Even among the princes of his people.

9 Qui habitare facit sterilem in domo, matrem filiorum lætantem.]

He causeth the barren woman to dwell in a house, A joyful mother of children. Praise ye the LORD!
