Psalm 113: Laudate, pueri

Hallelujah!

Give praise, you servants of the LORD; *

praise the Name of the LORD.

Let the Name of the LORD be blessed, *

from this time forth for evermore.

From the rising of the sun to its going down *

let the Name of the LORD be praised.

The LORD is high above all nations, *

and his glory above the heavens.

Who is like the LORD our God, who sits enthroned on high, *

but stoops to behold the heavens and the earth?

He takes up the weak out of the dust *

and lifts up the poor from the ashes.

He sets them with the princes, *

with the princes of his people.

He makes the woman of a childless house *

to be a joyful mother of children.
