Cantabo Domino Deo meo, in vita mea,
Exaltabo te Domine, quoniam suscepisti me,
nec delectasti inimicos meos super me,
Psallam Deo meo quam diu sum,
Cantabo Domino Deo meo in vita mea.

I will sing to the Lord my God all my life;
I will exalt you, O Lord, for you have lifted me up,
and have not let my enemies rejoice over me.
I will sing praises to my God as long as I live;
I will sing to the Lord my God all my life.
