Psalms 113

1 Hallelujah. Praise, O ye servants of the Lord, praise ye the name of the Lord.

Alleluia. Laudate pueri Dominum: laudate nomen Domini.

2 Let the name of the Lord be blessed from this time forth and for evermore.

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

3 From the rising of the sun unto his going down the name of the Lord is praised.

A solis ortu usque ad occasum, laudabile nomen Domini.

4 High above all nations is the Lord, above the heavens is his glory.

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

5 Who is like the Lord our God, who dwelleth on high?

Quis sicut Dominus Deus noster, qui in altis habitat,

6 Who condescendeth to view what is done in the heavens, and on the earth?

et humilia respicit in cælo et in terra?

7 He raiseth up out of the dust the poor, from the dunghill he lifteth up the needy:

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 collocet eum cum principibus, cum principibus populi sui.

9 He causeth the barren woman to dwell in the midst of [her] household, the joyful mother of children. Hallelujah.

Qui habitare facit sterilem in domo, matrem filiorum lætantem.
