Praise ye Jehovah. Praise, O ye servants of Jehovah. Praise the name of Jehovah.

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

Blessed be the name of Jehovah from this time forth and for evermore.

3 A solis ortu usque ad occasum, laudabile nomen Domini.

From the rising of the sun to the going down of the same Jehovah's name is to be praised.

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

Jehovah is high above all nations, and his glory above the heavens.

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

Who is like Jehovah our God who has his seat on high,

6 et humilia respicit in cælo et in terra?

and yet looks upon the low things in heaven and in the earth.

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

He raises up a poor man out of the dust, and lifts up a needy man from the dunghill,

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

that he may set him with rulers, even with the rulers of his people.

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

He makes the barren woman to keep house, a joyful mother of sons. Praise ye Jehovah.
