Lord, now you let your servant go in peace;

secúndum verbum tuum in pace:

your word has been fulfilled:

quia vidérunt óculi mei salutáre tuum,

my own eyes have seen the salvation

quod parásti ante fáciem ómnium populórum:

which you have prepared in the sight of every people:

lumen ad revelatiónem géntium,

a light to reveal you to the nations

et glóriam plébis tuæ Israël.

and the glory of your people Israel.
