Psalmorum 113

1 alleluia laudate pueri Dominum laudate nomen Domini

Alleluia. Praise the Lord, you servants [of his], praise, the name of the Lord.

2 sit nomen Domini benedictum ex hoc nunc et usque in saeculum

Let the name of the Lord be blessed, from this present time and for ever.

3 a solis ortu usque ad occasum laudabile nomen Domini

From the rising of the sun to his setting, the name of the Lord is to be praised.

4 excelsus super omnes gentes Dominus super caelos gloria eius

The Lord is high above all the nations; his glory is above the heavens.

5 quis sicut Dominus Deus noster qui in altis habitat

Who is as the Lord our God? who dwells in the high places,

6 et humilia respicit in caelo et in terra

and [yet] looks upon the low things in heaven, and on the earth:

7 suscitans a terra inopem et de stercore erigens pauperem

who lifts up the poor from the earth, and raises up the needy from the dunghill;

8 ut conlocet eum cum principibus cum principibus populi sui

to set him with princes, [even] with the princes of his people:

9 qui habitare facit sterilem in domo matrem filiorum laetantem

who settles the barren [woman] in a house, [as] a mother rejoicing over children.
