Magnus Dominus et laudabilis nimis in civitate Dei nostri in monte sancto eius.

Cantate Domino, canticum novum, cantate Domino omnis terra, cantate Domino, et benedicite nomini eius. Annuntiate de die in diem salutare eius. Annuntiate inter gentes gloriam eius, in omnibus populis mirabilia eius.

… Hic est Deus, Deus noster in aeternum et in saeculum saeculi …
