Vivaldi "Excelsus super omnes gentes Dominus" - Elin Manahan Thomas

Vivaldi Excelsus super omnes gentes Dominus - Elin Manahan Thomas

DOMENICO GHIRLANDAIO - THE ADORATION OF THE SHEPHERDS, SANTA TRINITA, FIRENZE DEDICATED TO THE NATTELLA Laudate, pueri, Dominum; laudate nomen Domini. Sit nomen Domini benedictum ex hoc nunc et usque in sæculum. A solis ortu usque ad occasum laudabile nomen Domini. Excelsus super omnes gentes Dominus, [et]2 super caelos gloria eius. Quis sicut Dominus Deus noster, qui in altis habitat, Et humilia respicit in caelo et in terra? Suscitans a terra inopem, et de stercore erigens pauperem : Ut collocet eum cum principibus, cum principibus populi sui. Qui habitare facit sterilem in domo, matrem filiorum lætantem. Praise ye the Lord. Praise, O ye servants of the Lord, praise the name of the Lord. Blessed be the name of the Lord from this time forth and for evermore. From the rising of the sun unto the going down of the same the Lord's name is to be praised. The Lord is high above all nations, and his glory above the heavens. Who is like unto the Lord our God, who dwelleth on high! , Who humbleth himself to behold the things that are in heaven, and in the earth! He raiseth up the poor out of the dust, and lifteth the needy out of the dunghill; That he may set him with princes, even with the princes of his people. He maketh the barren woman to keep house, and to be a joyful mother of children. Praise ye the Lord.
