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.

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.
