113 Praise ye the Lord. Praise, O ye servants of the Lord, praise the name of the Lord.

Blessed be the name of the Lord from this time forth and for evermore.

From the rising of the sun unto the going down of the same the Lord's name is to be praised.

The Lord is high above all nations, and his glory above the heavens.

Who is like unto the Lord our God, who dwelleth on high,

Who humbleth himself to behold the things that are in heaven, and in the earth!

He raiseth up the poor out of the dust, and lifteth the needy out of the dunghill;

That he may set him with princes, even with the princes of his people.

He maketh the barren woman to keep house, and to be a joyful mother of children. Praise ye the Lord.

El Señor exalta al humilde

113 ¡Aleluya[a]!
Alabad(A), siervos del Señor(B),
alabad el nombre del Señor.
Bendito sea el nombre del Señor(C)
desde ahora y para siempre.
Desde el nacimiento del sol hasta su ocaso(D),
alabado sea el nombre del Señor(E).
Excelso sobre todas las naciones es el Señor(F);
su gloria está sobre los cielos(G).

¿Quién es como el Señor nuestro Dios(H),
que está sentado en las alturas(I),
que se humilla[b] para mirar(J)
lo que hay en el cielo y en la tierra?
Él levanta al pobre del polvo(K),
y al necesitado saca del muladar[c],
para sentarlos con príncipes[d](L),
con los príncipes[e] de su pueblo.
Hace habitar en casa a la mujer estéril(M),
gozosa de ser madre de hijos.
¡Aleluya[f]!
