Lyrics
Exsultate Deo adjutori nostro.
Jubilate Deo, jubilate Deo Jacob.
Sing joyfully to God our strenth.
Smite Psalmum psalterium jucundum et date tympanum et cithara.
Raise a song and bring the taboret and the merry harp.
Bucinate tuba in insigne solemnitatis vestra.
Blow up the trumpet in the new moon in the time appointed our solemn feast day.
Exsere, Deus: Potentiam tuam potentiam Deus, qui operaris pro nobis.
Send forth your strength, O God, establish what you have wrought for us. Let your loving kindness be upon us.
Exsultent sancti de gloria.
Let the faithful rejoice the praises of God in their throat; a two-edged sword in their hands.
Laudate Dominum,
Laudate eum choro.
Praise his Name in the dance.
Praise him with resounding cymbals.
Praise his excellent greatness.
Praise him in his holy temple.
Omne quo laudet Spiritum.
Laudet Dominum.
Let everything that has breath praise the Lord.
Alleluia. Amen.
