Laudate, pueri, Dominum
Language: Latin 
Our translations:  DUT DUT FRE
1 [Alleluja]
  Laudate, pueri, Dominum; 
  laudate nomen Domini.
2 Sit nomen Domini benedictum
  ex hoc nunc et usque in [sæculum]1.
3 A solis ortu usque ad occasum
  laudabile nomen Domini.
4 Excelsus super omnes gentes Dominus,
  [et]2 super caelos gloria eius.
5 Quis sicut Dominus Deus noster,
  qui in altis habitat,
6 Et humilia respicit 
  in caelo et in terra?
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.

Louez, enfants, le Seigneur
Language: French (Français)  after the Latin 
1 [Alleluja]
  Louez, enfants, le Seigneur ; 
  louez le nom du Seigneur.
2 Que le nom du Seigneur soit béni, 
  à partir de maintenant et dans les siècles.
3 Du lever du soleil jusqu'à son coucher 
  louange au nom du Seigneur.
4 Le Seigneur est au-dessus de toutes les nations, 
  et sa gloire au-dessus des cieux.
5 Qui est semblable au Seigneur, notre Dieu, 
  qui demeure au plus haut, 
6 et s'abaisse pour regarder 
  vers le ciel et la terre ?
7 Relevant de la terre le faible, 
  et du fumier élevant le pauvre :
8 Pour les placer avec les princes, 
  avec les princes de son peuple.
9 Il fait habiter la stérile en sa maison, 
  mère riant au milieu de ses fils.
