Psalms 113

1 Alleluia. Praise the Lord, children. Praise the name of the Lord.

Alleluia. Laudate pueri Dominum: laudate nomen Domini.

2 Blessed is the name of the Lord, from this time forward and even forever.

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

3 From the rising of the sun, even to its setting, praiseworthy is the name of the Lord.

A solis ortu usque ad occasum, laudabile nomen Domini.

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

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

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

Quis sicut Dominus Deus noster, qui in altis habitat,

6 and who gazes upon the humble things in heaven and on earth?

et humilia respicit in cælo et in terra?

7 He lifts up the needy from the ground, and he urges the poor away from filth,

Suscitans a terra inopem, et de stercore erigens pauperem:

8 so that he may place him with the leaders, with the leaders of his people.

Ut collocet eum cum principibus, cum principibus populi sui.

9 He causes a barren woman to live in a house, as the joyful mother of sons.

Qui habitare facit sterilem in domo, matrem filiorum lætantem.
