Original Text
Laudate pueri Dominum,
laudate nomen Domini.
Sit nomen Domini benedictum,
ex hoc nunc, et usque in saeculum.
A solis ortus usque ad occasum
laudabile nomen Domini.
Excelsus super omnes gentes Dominus,
et super coelos gloria ejus.
Quis sicut Dominus Deus noster,
qui in altis habitat
et humilia respicit in coelo et in terra,
suscitans a terra inopem,
et de stercore erigens pauperem,
ut collocet eum cum principibus
populi sui,
qui habitare facit sterilem in domo
matrem filiorum laetantem. |
English Translation
Praise the Lord, you His servants,
praise the name of the Lord.
May the name of the Lord be blessed
from this time onward forever.
From the rising of the sun until its setting,
the name of the Lord is praiseworthy.
The Lord is on high above all nations
and his glory is over the heavens.
Who is like the Lord our God,
who lives on high
and regards the lowly in heaven and on earth;
raising up the destitute man from the earth
and lifting up the poor man from the muck,
that he may place him with the princess
of his people;
who makes a barren woman live in a house,
the happy mother of children. |
