Original text and translations
Latin text
Exsultate Deo, adjutori nostro: jubilate Deo Jacob.
Sumite psalmum et date tympanum: psalterium jucundum cum cithara.
Buccinate in neomenia tuba: insigni die solemnitatis vestrae.
English translation
Rejoice in God our helper: sing aloud to the God of Jacob.
Take the psalm and bring hither the timbrel: the merry harp with the lute.
Blow the trumpet in the new moon, even on our solemn feast day.
Portuguese translation
Exaltai a Deus, nosso auxílio: alegrai-vos ao Deus de Jacó.
Recitai salmos e soai o tímpano: a harpa melodiosa com a cítara.
Soai a tuba à lua nova, no dia de vossa festividade.
