The Book of Psalms Psalm 112

Douay-Rheims · Challoner revision

Challoner’s heading

Laudate, pueri.

Psalm 112 in the Vulgate numbering this edition follows; Psalm 113 in the Hebrew numbering of most modern Bibles.

1Praise the Lord, ye children: praise ye the name of the Lord. 2Blessed be the name of the Lord, from henceforth now and for ever. 3From the rising of the sun unto the going down of the same, the name of the Lord is worthy of praise. 4The Lord is high above all nations; and his glory above the heavens. 5Who is as the Lord our God, who dwelleth on high: 6And looketh down on the low things in heaven and in earth? 7Raising up the needy from the earth, and lifting up the poor out of the dunghill: 8That he may place him with princes, with the princes of his people. 9Who maketh a barren woman to dwell in a house, the joyful mother of children.
Psalm 112 of 150

Text: the Douay-Rheims Bible in Bishop Challoner’s revision, public domain, from Project Gutenberg ebook 8300, set unaltered — 150 psalms and 2,528 verses, checked for gaps. Challoner’s own notes are left out, as in the gospels; the summary at the head of each psalm is his and is labelled as his. Psalms are numbered as in the Latin Vulgate, which differs by one from the Hebrew numbering of most modern Bibles for most of the book; each psalm gives both.
