Psalm 34:1-3 [Latin]

1 I will bless the Lord at all times: his praise shall continually be in my mouth.

My soul shall make her boast in the Lord: the humble shall hear thereof, and be glad.

O magnify the Lord with me, and let us exalt his name together.

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. Alleluia.
