1 quando domus aedificabatur post captivitatem canticum huic David cantate Domino canticum novum cantate Domino omnis terra

Oh sing unto the Lord a new song: sing unto the Lord, all the lands.

2 cantate Domino benedicite nomini eius adnuntiate diem de die salutare eius

3 adnuntiate inter gentes gloriam eius in omnibus populis mirabilia eius

Relate among the nations his honor, among all the people his wonders.

4 quoniam magnus Dominus et laudabilis valde terribilis est super omnes deos

For the Lord is great, and greatly praised: he is to be feared above all gods.

5 quoniam omnes dii gentium daemonia at vero Dominus caelos fecit

For all the gods of the nations are idols; but the Lord hath made the heavens.

6 confessio et pulchritudo in conspectu eius sanctimonia et magnificentia in sanctificatione eius

Glory and majesty are before him: strength and beauty are in his sanctuary.

7 adferte Domino patriae gentium adferte Domino gloriam et honorem

Ascribe unto the Lord, O ye families of the people, ascribe unto the Lord honor and strength.

8 adferte Domino gloriam nomini eius tollite hostias et introite in atria eius

9 adorate Dominum in atrio sancto eius commoveatur a facie eius universa terra

Bow down unto the Lord in the beauty of holiness: tremble before him, all ye lands.

10 dicite in gentibus quia Dominus regnavit etenim correxit orbem qui non movebitur iudicabit populos in aequitate

Say among the nations, “The Lord reigneth;” [therefore] also the world is ever firmly established that it shall hot be moved: he will judge the people in equity.

11 laetentur caeli et exultet terra commoveatur mare et plenitudo eius

Let the heavens rejoice, and let the earth be glad: let the sea roar, with all that filleth it.

12 gaudebunt campi et omnia quae in eis sunt tunc exultabunt omnia ligna silvarum

Let the field exult, and all that is therein: then shall all the trees of the forest sing for joy,

13 a facie Domini quia venit quoniam venit iudicare terram iudicabit orbem terrae in aequitate et populos in veritate sua

Before the Lord; for he cometh, for he cometh to judge the earth: he will judge the world with righteousness, and people in his truth.
