Benedicam Dominum in omni tempore;
semper laus ejus in ore meo.
In Domino lætabitur anima mea;
Audiant mansueti et lætentur.
Magnificate Dominum mecum;
et exultemus nomen ejus in id ipsum.
Alleluja.

English Translation

I will bless the Lord at all times;
his praise will always be in my mouth.
My soul will boast in the Lord;
let the afflicted hear and rejoice.
Magnify the Lord with me;
let us exalt his name together.
Alleluia.
