Psalms 112
Laudate, pueri. God is to be praised for his regard to the poor and humble. Alleluia.
P raise the Lord, ye children:
praise ye the name of the Lord.
2 Blessed be the name of the Lord,
from henceforth now and for ever.
3 From the rising of the sun unto the going down of the same,
the name of the Lord is worthy of praise.
4 The Lord is high above all nations;
and his glory above the heavens.
5 Who is as the Lord our God,
who dwelleth on high:
6 and looketh down on the low
things in heaven and in earth?
7 Raising up the needy from the earth,
and lifting up the poor out of the dunghill:
8 That he may place him with princes,
with the princes of his people.
9 Who maketh a barren woman to dwell in a house,
the joyful mother of children.
