Original text and translations

Psalm 113 (112) vv. 1-2; 121 (120) v. 2 and 123 (124) v. 4

Latin text Laudate, pueri, Dominum, laudate nomen Domini: sit nomen Domini benedictum, ex hoc nunc et usque in saeculum. Auxilium meum a Domino, qui fecit caelum et terram. Benefac, Domine, bonis et rectis corde.

English translation translation from Bishop Challoner's edition of the Douay-Reims Bible, 1749-1752 Praise the Lord, ye children: praise ye the name of the Lord. Blessed be the name of the Lord, from henceforth now and for ever. My help is from the Lord, who made heaven and earth. Do good, O Lord, to those that are good, and to the upright of heart.
