Psalm 113, Chant D

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 e-ver-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 his 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 He takes up the weak out of the dust *
and lifts up the poor from the ash-es.

7 He sets them with the prin-ces, *
with the princes of his peo-ple.

8 He makes the woman of a child-less house *
to be a joyful mo-ther 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 e-ver. A-men.
