Exsultate Justi in Domino

Original Text

English Translation

Exsultáte justi in Dómino:
rectos decet collaudátio.

Confitémini Dóminoi in cíthera:
in psaltério decem chordárum psállite illi.

Cantáte ei cánticum novum:
bene psállite ei in vociferatióne.

Quia rectum est verbum Dómini:
et ómnia ópera ejus in fide.

Díliget misericórdiam et judícium:
misericórdia Dómini plena est terra.

Verbo Dómini cæli firmáti sunt:
et spíritus oris ejus omins virtus eórum.

Shout for joy in the Lord, all who love justice!
for praise is fitting from the right-hearted.

Give thanks to the Lord on the lyre,
sing his praises on the ten-stringed harp.

Sing a new song to him;
sing well, and with a loud voice!

For the word of the Lord is true,
he is faithful in all his works.

He loves compassion and right judgment,
all creation abounds in his mercy.

By the word of the Lord the heavens were established;
by the breath of his mouth, all that they hold.
