Alleluia.
Praise the Lord, children, praise the name of the Lord. Blessed be the name of the Lord from now on and forever. From the east of the sun to the west, praise is the name of the Lord. The Lord is high above all nations: His glory is above the heavens. Who is the Lord our God? He who lives on high and who is humble in heaven and on earth, who raises up the poor from the earth and raises up the wretched from the rotting place, makes him a prince, a prince of his people, inhabiting barrenness in the mother's house, I rejoice in the children.
