From the rising of the sun to the going down of the same the LORD’s name is to be praised.

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

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

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

Who is like to the LORD our God, who dwells on high,

6 et humilia respicit in caelo et in terra?

Who humbles himself to behold the things that are in heaven, and in the earth!

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

He raises up the poor out of the dust, and lifts the needy out of the dunghill;

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

That he may set him with princes, even with the princes of his people.

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

He makes the barren woman to keep house, and to be a joyful mother of children. Praise you the LORD.
