Laus cantici ipsi David, in die ante sabbatum, quando fundata est terra. Dominus regnavit, decorem indutus est : indutus est Dominus fortitudinem, et præcinxit se. Etenim firmavit orbem terræ, qui non commovebitur.
The Lord hath reigned, he is clothed with beauty: the Lord is clothed with strength, and hath girded himself. For he hath established the world which shall not be moved.
Parata sedes tua ex tunc ; a sæculo tu es.
My throne is prepared from of old: thou art from everlasting.
Elevaverunt flumina, Domine, elevaverunt flumina vocem suam ; elevaverunt flumina fluctus suos,
The floods have lifted up, O Lord: the floods have lifted up their voice. The floods have lifted up their waves,
a vocibus aquarum multarum. Mirabiles elationes maris ; mirabilis in altis Dominus.
With the noise of many waters. Wonderful are the surges of the sea: wonderful is the Lord on high.
Testimonia tua credibilia facta sunt nimis ; domum tuam decet sanctitudo, Domine, in longitudinem dierum.
Thy testimonies are become exceedingly credible: holiness becometh thy house, O Lord, unto length of days.
