Lyrics: 

Cantemus Domino: gloriose enim honorificatus est: equum et ascensorum proiecit in mare: adiutor, et protector factus est mihi in salutem. V. Hic Deus meus, et honorificabo eum: Deus patris mei, et exaltabo eum. V. Dominus conterens bella: Dominus nomen est illi.

Translated Lyrics: 

Let us sing to the Lord, for He is gloriously honored: the horse and the rider He hath thrown into the sea: He has become my Helper and Protector unto salvation. V. He is my God, and I will honor Him: the God of my father, and I will extol Him. V. He is the Lord that destroys wars: the Lord is His Name.
