Latin text

Sicut in holocaustis arietum et taurorum,
et sicut in millibus agnorum pinguium,
sic fiat sacrificium nostrum in conspectu tuo hodie ut placeat tibi,
quia non est confusio confidentibus in te, Domine.

English translation Translation supplied by Paul Pascal, Professor Emeritus of Classics, University of Washington

As with burnt offerings of rams and of bulls,
And as with fatted lambs by the thousands,
So may our sacrifice be made today in your sight that it be pleasing to you,
For there is no confounding of those who trust in you, Lord.
