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 evermore.
3. From the rising of the sun to its going down *
   let the Name of the Lord be praised.
4. The Lord is high above all nations, *
   and his glory above the heavens.
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 ashes.
7. He sets them with the princes, *
   with the princes of his people.
8. He makes the woman of a childless house *
   to be a joyful mother of children.
