The One Hundred Thirteenth Psalm

Laudate, pueri.

---

PRAISE the LORD, ye servants; * O praise the Name of the LORD.
 
Blessed be the Name of the LORD * from this time forth for evermore.
 
The LORD'S Name is praised * from the rising up of the sun unto the going down of the same.
 
The LORD is high above all nations, * and his glory above the heavens.
 
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!
 
He taketh up the simple out of the dust, * and lifteth the poor out of the mire;
 
That he may set him with the princes, * even with the princes of his people.
 
He maketh the barren woman to keep house, * and to be a joyful mother of children.
