From the rising of the sun unto the going down of the same, the name of the Lord is worthy of praise.

Excelsus super omnes gentes Dominus: *et super cœlos gloria ejus.

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

Quis sicut Dominus Deus noster, qui in altis habitat: *et humilia respicit in cœlo et in terra?

Who is as the Lord our God, who dwelleth on high: and looketh down on the low things in heaven and in earth?

Suscitans a terra inopem: *et de steroore erigens pauperem.

Raising up the needy from the earth, and lifting up the poor out of the dunghill:

Ut collocet eum cum principibus: *cum principibus populi sui.

That he may place them with princes, with the princes of his people.

Qui habitare facit sterilem in domo: *matrem filiorum lætantem.
