Praise the Lord, ye children: praise ye the name of the Lord.

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?

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.
