1 Aleluia. Louvai, ó servos do Senhor, louvai o nome do Senhor.

2 Bendito seja o nome do Senhor, agora e para sempre.

3 Desde o nascer ao pôr-do-sol, seja louvado o nome do Senhor.

4 O Senhor é excelso sobre todos os povos, sua glória ultrapassa a altura do céu.

5 Quem se compara ao Senhor, nosso Deus, que tem seu trono nas alturas,

6 e do alto olha o céu e a terra?

7 Ele levanta do pó o indigente e tira o pobre da imundície,

8 para, entre os príncipes, fazê-lo sentar, junto dos grandes de seu povo.

9 E a mulher, que, antes, era estéril, ele a faz, em sua casa, mãe feliz de muitos filhos.

1 Praise ye the LORD. Blessed is the man that feareth the LORD, that delighteth greatly in his commandments.*112.1 Praise…: Heb. Hallelujah

2 His seed shall be mighty upon earth: the generation of the upright shall be blessed.

3 Wealth and riches shall be in his house: and his righteousness endureth for ever.

4 Unto the upright there ariseth light in the darkness: he is gracious, and full of compassion, and righteous.

5 A good man sheweth favour, and lendeth: he will guide his affairs with discretion.*112.5 discretion: Heb. judgment

6 Surely he shall not be moved for ever: the righteous shall be in everlasting remembrance.

7 He shall not be afraid of evil tidings: his heart is fixed, trusting in the LORD.

8 His heart is established, he shall not be afraid, until he see his desire upon his enemies.

9 He hath dispersed, he hath given to the poor; his righteousness endureth for ever; his horn shall be exalted with honour.

10 The wicked shall see it, and be grieved; he shall gnash with his teeth, and melt away: the desire of the wicked shall perish.
