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] Looft, kinderen, de Heer, Looft de naam van de Heer. 2 De naam van de Heer zij gezegend van nu af tot in eeuwigheid. 3 Van zonsopgang tot zonsondergang moet de naam van de Heer geprezen zijn. 4 Verheven boven alle volkeren is de Heer, en boven de hemelen zijn roem. 5 Wie is als de Heer onze God, die in den hoge woont 6 En neerziet op het lagere in de hemel en op aarde? 7 Die de machteloze van de grond doet opstaan en de arme uit het vuil optilt, 8 Om hem te plaatsen naast vorsten, naast de voornaamsten van zijn volk. 9 Die de onvruchtbare doet wonen in een huis, als een blije moeder van kinderen.
