Claudio Monteverdi
Laudate pueri Dominum
Laudate nomen Domini.
Sit nomen Domini benedictum ex hoc
nunc et usque in saeculum.
A solis ortu usque ad occasum
laudabile nomen Domini.
Excelsus super omnes gentes Dominus
et super coelos gloria ejus.
Quis sicut Dominus Deus noster,
qui in altis habitat,
et humilia respicit in coelo et in terra?
Suscitans a terra inopem,
et de stercore erigens pauperem;
Ut collecet eum cum principibus,
cum principibus populi sui.
Qui habitare fecit sterilem in domo,
matrem filiorum laetantem.
Gloria Patri et Filio et Spiritui Sancto
Sicut erat in principio et nunc et semper
et in saecula saeculorum. Amen.
Praise the Lord, O sons,
Praise the name of the Lord.
May the name of the Lord be blessed
from henceforth and forevermore.
From the rising of the sun to its setting,
The name of the Lord is praiseworthy.
The Lord is exalted above all people,
And his glory is above the heavens.
Who is like the Lord our God,
Who dwells on high
And regards the lowly in heaven and on earth?
Supporting the needy on the earth,
And raising up the poor from the dust;
In order to place him
With the princes of his people.
Who makes the barren one to dwell
In a house as the happy mother of children.
Glory to the Father and to the Son and to the Holy Spirit,
as it was in the beginning, is now, and forever,
and for generations of generations. Amen.
Psalm 113 and Doxology
