Texts and Translations

Psalm 113 [112]

1 [alleluia]
Laudate, pueri Dominum,
laudate nomen Domini,
2 sit nomen Domini benedictum,
ex hoc nunc, et usque in saeculum.
3 A solis ortu usque ad occasum,
laudabile nomen Domini.
4 Excelsus super omnes gentes Dominus,
et super caelos gloria ejus.
5 Quis sicut Dominus Deus noster,
qui in altis habitat,
6 et humilia respicit in caelo et in terra?
7 Suscitans a terra inopem,
et de stercore erigens pauperem:
8 Ut collocet eum cum principibus,
cum principibus populi sui.
9 Qui habitare facet sterilem in domo,
matrem filiorum laetantem.
[Alleluia.]
1 [Praise ye the LORD.]
Praise, O ye servants of the LORD, 
praise the name of the LORD.
2 Blessed be the name of the LORD 
from this time forth and for evermore.
3 From the rising of the sun unto the going down of the same 
the LORD's name is to be praised.
4 The LORD is high above all nations, 
and his glory above the heavens.
5 Who is like unto the LORD our God, 
who dwelleth on high,
6 Who humbleth himself to behold the things that are in heaven, and in the earth!
7 He raiseth up the poor out of the dust, 
and lifteth the needy out of the dunghill;
8 That he may set him with princes, 
even with the princes of his people.
9 He maketh the barren woman to keep house, 
and to be a joyful mother of children. 
[Praise ye the LORD.]

Ave Maria, gratia plena,
Dominus tecum.
Benedicta tu in mulieribus,
et benedictus fructus ventris tui,
Jesus.

Sancta Maria, Mater Dei,
ora pro nobis peccatoribus,
nunc, et in hora mortis nostrae.
Amen

Hail, Mary, full of grace,
the Lord is with thee.
Blessed art thou among women,
and blessed is the fruit of thy womb,
Jesus.

Holy Mary, Mother of God,
pray for us sinners,
now, and in the hour of our death.
Amen.
