Alleluja. | (Alleluia.) | Alleluia. |
1 Laudate, pueri, Dominum; laudate nomen Domini. | 1 Praise the Lord, you that are his servants, praise the name of the Lord together. | 1 Praise the Lord, ye children: praise ye the name of the Lord. |
2 Sit nomen Domini benedictum ex hoc nunc et usque in sæculum. | 2 Blessed be the Lord’s name at all times, from this day to all eternity; | 2 Blessed be the name of the Lord, from henceforth now and for ever. |
3 A solis ortu usque ad occasum laudabile nomen Domini. | 3 from the sun’s rise to the sun’s setting let the Lord’s name be praised continually. | 3 From the rising of the sun unto the going down of the same, the name of the Lord is worthy of praise. |
4 Excelsus super omnes gentes Dominus, et super cælos gloria ejus. | 4 The Lord is sovereign king of all the nations; his glory is high above the heavens. | 4 The Lord is high above all nations; and his glory above the heavens. |
5 Quis sicut Dominus Deus noster, qui in altis habitat, | 5 Who is like the Lord our God, so high above us, | 5 Who is as the Lord our God, who dwelleth on high: |
6 et humilia respicit in cælo et in terra? | 6 that stoops to regard both heaven and earth, | 6 and looketh down on the low things in heaven and in earth? |
7 Suscitans a terra inopem, et de stercore erigens pauperem: | 7 lifting up the poor from the dust he lay in, raising the beggar out of his dung-hill, | 7 Raising up the needy from the earth, and lifting up the poor out of the dunghill: |
8 ut collocet eum cum principibus, cum principibus populi sui. | 8 to find him a place among the princes, the princes that rule over his people? | 8 That he may place him with princes, with the princes of his people. |
9 Qui habitare facit sterilem in domo, matrem filiorum lætantem. | 9 He gives the barren woman a home to dwell in, a mother rejoicing in her children. | 9 Who maketh a barren woman to dwell in a house, the joyful mother of children. |
