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

4 Excelsus super omnes gentes Dominus,

5 Quis sicut Dominus Deus noster,
  qui in altis habitat,
6 Et humilia respicit

7 Suscitans a terra inopem, 
  et de stercore erigens pauperem :
8 Ut collocet eum cum principibus, 
  cum principibus populi sui.
9 Qui habitare facit sterilem in domo, 
  matrem filiorum lætantem.

Psalm 113
Language: English  after the Latin 
1 
  Praise ye the Lord. Praise, O ye servants of the Lord,
  praise the name of the Lord.
2 Blessed be the name of the Lord
  from this time forth and for evermore.
3 From the rising of the sun unto the going down of the same
  the Lord's name is to be praised.
4 The Lord is high above all nations,
  and his glory above the heavens.
5 Who is like unto the Lord our God,
  who dwelleth on high,
6 Who humbleth himself to behold 
  the things that are in heaven, and in the earth!
7 He raiseth up the poor out of the dust, 
  and lifteth the needy out of the dunghill;
8 That he may set him with princes, 
  even with the princes of his people.
9 He maketh the barren woman to keep house, 
  and to be a joyful mother of children. Praise ye the Lord.
