Lyrics: 

 

Lauda, Jerusalem, Dominum; lauda Deum tuum, Sion. 

2. Quoniam confortavit seras portarum tuarum; benedixit filiis tuis in te. 

3. Qui posuit fines tuos pacem, et adipe frumenti satiat te. 

4. Qui emittit eloquium suum terræ : velociter currit sermo ejus. 

5. Qui dat nivem sicut lanam; nebulam sicut cinerem spargit. 

6. Mittit crystallum suam sicut buccellas : ante faciem frigoris ejus quis sustinebit? 

7. Emittet verbum suum, et liquefaciet ea; flabit spiritus ejus, et fluent aquæ. 

8. Qui annuntiat verbum suum Jacob, justitias et judicia sua Israël. 

9. Non fecit taliter omni nationi, et judicia sua non manifestavit eis.

10. Gloria Patri et Filio: et Spritui Sancto.

11. Sicut erat in principio, et nunc et semper: et in saecula saeculorum. Amen.

 

Translated Lyrics: 

 

Praise the Lord, O Jerusalem: praise your God, O Sion. 

2 Because he has strengthened the bolts of your gates, he has blessed your children within you. 

3 Who has placed peace in your borders: and fills you with the fat of corn. 

4 Who sends forth his speech to the earth: his word runs swiftly. 

5 Who gives snow like wool: scatters mists like ashes. 

6 He sends his crystal like morsels: who shall stand before the face of his cold? 

7 He shall send out his word, and shall melt them: his wind shall blow, and the waters shall run. 

8. Who declares his word to Jacob: his justices and his judgments to Israel. 

9. He has not done in like manner to every nation: and his judgments he has not made manifest to them.

10. Glory be to the Father and to the Son: and to the Holy Spirit.

11. As it was in the beginning is now and every shall be: world without end. So be it.
