Psalm 113
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Psalm 113 is the 113th psalm of the Book of Psalms (Psalm 112 in Greek Septuagint and Latin Vulgate). It is very similar to the Song of Hannah.[1]
The psalm is often known by its first two words, Laudate pueri, and there are many musical settings including in Claudio Monteverdi's Vespro della Beata Vergine of 1610.
