Psalms 113

1Praise the Lord, ye children: praise ye the name of the Lord.

2Blessed be the name of the Lord, from henceforth now and for ever.

3From the rising of the sun unto the going down of the same, the name of the Lord is worthy of praise.

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

5Who is as the Lord our God, who dwelleth on high:

6And looketh down on the low things in heaven and in earth?

7Raising up the needy from the earth, and lifting up the poor out of the dunghill:

8That he may place him with princes, with the princes of his people.

9Who maketh a barren woman to dwell in a house, the joyful mother of children.

1Alleluja. [Laudate, pueri, Dominum; laudate nomen Domini.

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

3A solis ortu usque ad occasum laudabile nomen Domini.

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

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

6et humilia respicit in cælo et in terra?

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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