Psaumes 112

¹ Alleluia. Praise the Lord, ye servants of his, praise the name of the Lord.

² Let the name of the Lord be blessed, from this present time and for ever.

³ From the rising of the sun to his setting, the name of the Lord is to be praised.

⁴ The Lord is high above all the nations ; his glory is above the heavens.

⁵ Who is as the Lord our God ? who dwells in the high places,

⁶ and yet looks upon the low things in heaven, and on the earth :

⁷ who lifts up the poor from the earth, and raises up the needy from the dunghill ;

⁸ to set him with princes, even with the princes of his people :

⁹ who settles the barren woman in a house, as a mother rejoicing over children.
