112 Alleluja. Laudate, pueri, Dominum; laudate nomen Domini.

Sit nomen Domini benedictum ex hoc nunc et usque in saeculum.

A solis ortu usque ad occasum laudabile nomen Domini.

Excelsus super omnes gentes Dominus, et super caelos gloria ejus.

Quis sicut Dominus Deus noster, qui in altis habitat,

et humilia respicit in caelo et in terra?

Suscitans a terra inopem, et de stercore erigens pauperem:

ut collocet eum cum principibus, cum principibus populi sui.

Qui habitare facit sterilem in domo, matrem filiorum laetantem.

113 Alleluja. In exitu Israel de AEgypto, domus Jacob de populo barbaro,

facta est Judaea sanctificatio ejus; Israel potestas ejus.

Mare vidit, et fugit; Jordanis conversus est retrorsum.

Montes exsultaverunt ut arietes, et colles sicut agni ovium.

Quid est tibi, mare, quod fugisti? et tu, Jordanis, quia conversus es retrorsum?

montes, exsultastis sicut arietes? et colles, sicut agni ovium?

A facie Domini mota est terra, a facie Dei Jacob:

qui convertit petram in stagna aquarum, et rupem in fontes aquarum.

Non nobis, Domine, non nobis, sed nomini tuo da gloriam:

10 super misericordia tua et veritate tua; nequando dicant gentes: Ubi est Deus eorum?

11 Deus autem noster in caelo; omnia quaecumque voluit fecit.

12 Simulacra gentium argentum et aurum, opera manuum hominum.

13 Os habent, et non loquentur; oculos habent, et non videbunt.

14 Aures habent, et non audient; nares habent, et non odorabunt.

15 Manus habent, et non palpabunt; pedes habent, et non ambulabunt; non clamabunt in gutture suo.

16 Similes illis fiant qui faciunt ea, et omnes qui confidunt in eis.

17 Domus Israel speravit in Domino; adjutor eorum et protector eorum est.

18 Domus Aaron speravit in Domino; adjutor eorum et protector eorum est.

19 Qui timent Dominum speraverunt in Domino; adjutor eorum et protector eorum est.

20 Dominus memor fuit nostri, et benedixit nobis. Benedixit domui Israel; benedixit domui Aaron.

21 Benedixit omnibus qui timent Dominum, pusillis cum majoribus.

22 Adjiciat Dominus super vos, super vos et super filios vestros.

23 Benedicti vos a Domino, qui fecit caelum et terram.

24 Caelum caeli Domino; terram autem dedit filiis hominum.

25 Non mortui laudabunt te, Domine, neque omnes qui descendunt in infernum:

26 sed nos qui vivimus, benedicimus Domino, ex hoc nunc et usque in saeculum.

Psalm 112[a]

Praise the Lord.[b](A)

Blessed are those(B) who fear the Lord,(C)
    who find great delight(D) in his commands.

Their children(E) will be mighty in the land;
    the generation of the upright will be blessed.
Wealth and riches(F) are in their houses,
    and their righteousness endures(G) forever.
Even in darkness light dawns(H) for the upright,
    for those who are gracious and compassionate and righteous.(I)
Good will come to those who are generous and lend freely,(J)
    who conduct their affairs with justice.

Surely the righteous will never be shaken;(K)
    they will be remembered(L) forever.
They will have no fear of bad news;
    their hearts are steadfast,(M) trusting in the Lord.(N)
Their hearts are secure, they will have no fear;(O)
    in the end they will look in triumph on their foes.(P)
They have freely scattered their gifts to the poor,(Q)
    their righteousness endures(R) forever;
    their horn[c] will be lifted(S) high in honor.

10 The wicked will see(T) and be vexed,
    they will gnash their teeth(U) and waste away;(V)
    the longings of the wicked will come to nothing.(W)

Psalm 113

Praise the Lord.[d](X)

Praise the Lord, you his servants;(Y)
    praise the name of the Lord.
Let the name of the Lord be praised,(Z)
    both now and forevermore.(AA)
From the rising of the sun(AB) to the place where it sets,
    the name of the Lord is to be praised.

The Lord is exalted(AC) over all the nations,
    his glory above the heavens.(AD)
Who is like the Lord our God,(AE)
    the One who sits enthroned(AF) on high,(AG)
who stoops down to look(AH)
    on the heavens and the earth?

He raises the poor(AI) from the dust
    and lifts the needy(AJ) from the ash heap;
he seats them(AK) with princes,
    with the princes of his people.
He settles the childless(AL) woman in her home
    as a happy mother of children.

Praise the Lord.
