(Alleluia.)

I will praise thee, O Lord, with my whole heart; in the council of the just, and in the congregation.

Confitebor tibi, Domine, in toto corde meo, in consilio justorum, et congregatione.

All my heart goes out to the Lord in praise, Before the assembly where the just are gathered.

Great are the works of the Lord: sought out according to all his wills.

Magna opera Domini: exquisita in omnes voluntates ejus.

Chant we the Lord’s wondrous doings, delight and study of all who love him.

His work is praise and magnificence: and his justice continueth for ever and ever.

Confessio et magnificentia opus ejus, et justitia ejus manet in sæculum sæculi.

Ever his deeds are high and glorious, faithful he abides to all eternity.

He hath made a remembrance of his wonderful works, being a merciful and gracious Lord:

Memoriam fecit mirabilium suorum, misericors et miserator Dominus.

Great deeds, that he keeps still in remembrance!

he hath given food to them that fear him. He will be mindful for ever of his covenant:

Escam dedit timentibus se; memor erit in sæculum testamenti sui.

He, the Lord, is kind and merciful. In abundance he fed the men who feared him, keeping his covenant for ever.

he will shew forth to his people the power of his works.

Virtutem operum suorum annuntiabit populo suo,

Lordly the power he shewed his people,

That he may give them the inheritance of the Gentiles: the works of his hands are truth and judgment.

ut det illis hæreditatem gentium. Opera manuum ejus veritas et judicium.

making the lands of the heathen their possession. No act but shews him just and faithful; of his decrees there is no relenting.

All his commandments are faithful: confirmed for ever and ever, made in truth and equity.

Fidelia omnia mandata ejus, confirmata in sæculum sæculi, facta in veritate et æquitate.

Perpetual time shall leave them changeless; right and truth are their foundation.

Redemptionem misit populo suo; mandavit in æternum testamentum suum. Sanctum et terribile nomen ejus.

So he has brought our race deliverance; to all eternity stands his covenant. Unutterable is his name and worshipful;

the fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom. A good understanding to all that do it: his praise continueth for ever and ever.
