Psalm 113

Laudate, pueri

1 PRAISE the Lord, ye servants * O praise the Name of the Lord.

2 Blessed be the Name of the Lord * from this time forth for evermore.

3 The Lord's Name is praised * from the rising up of the sun unto the going down of the same.

4 The Lord is high above all heathen * and his glory above the heavens.

5 Who is like unto the Lord our God, that hath his dwelling so high * and yet humbleth himself to behold the things that are in heaven and earth?

6 He taketh up the simple out of the dust * and lifteth the poor out of the mire;

7 That he may set him with the princes * even with the princes of his people.

8 He maketh the barren woman to keep house * and to be a joyful mother of children.

Glory be to the Father, and to the Son * and to the Holy Ghost;
As it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be * world without end. Amen.
