Latin text
Sanctificavit Dominus tabernaculum suum: haec est domus Domini in quae vocatum est nomen eius de qua scriptum est: erit nomen meum ibi, dicit Dominus.
Domus mea domus orationis vocabitur: in ea omnis qui petit accipit ac qui quaerit invenit et pulsanti aperitur.
Domum tuam Domine decet sanctitudo in longitudinem dierum.
O quam metuendus est locus iste:
vere non est hic aliud nisi domus Dei et porta caeli.
Benedic Domine domum istam in qua Moyses aedificavit altare Domino.
Venientium in locum istum exaudi preces in excelso solio gloriae tuae.
Beati qui habitant in domo tua Domine: in saecula saeculorum laudabunt te.
Domum tuam Domine decet sanctitudo in longitudinem dierum.

My house shall be called a house of prayer: in it, whoever asks shall receive, whoever seeks shall find and whoever knocks shall find it opened to them.
Thy house, Lord, shall be adorned with holiness for all time.
O how awe-inspiring is this place! Truly it can only be the house of God and the gate of heaven.
Bless, Lord, this house, in which Moses built an altar to the Lord.
On your high, glorious throne, hear the prayers of those who come to this place.
Blessed are those who dwell in your house, Lord: they shall praise thee until the end of time.
Thy house, Lord, shall be adorned with holiness for all time.
