Psalm 113 Laudate, pueri

1 Hallelujah! Give praise, you servants of the LORD; *
praise the Name of the LORD.

2 Let the Name of the LORD be blessed, *
from this time forth for ev-er-more.

3 From the rising of the sun to its go-ing down *
let the Name of the LORD be praised.

4 The LORD is high above all na-tions, *
and her glory a-bove the hea-vens.

5 Who is like the LORD our God, who sits enthroned on high, *
but stoops to behold the heavens and the earth?

6 She takes up the weak out of the dust *
and lifts up the poor from the a-shes.

7 She sets them with the prin-ces, *
with the princes of her peo-ple.

8 She makes the woman of a childless house *
to be a joyful mother of chil-dren.

Glory to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Ho-ly Spir-it: *
as it was in the beginning, is now, and will be for ev-er. A-men.
