Text and translations

Latin text Gaudens gaudebo in Domino et exsultabit anima mea in Deo meo: quia induit me vestimentis salutis, et indumento justitia circumdedit me, quasi sponsam ornatam monilibus suis. versus (Ps. 29:2): Exaltabo te, Domine quoniam suscepisti me: nec delectasti inimicos meos super me. Gloria Patri…

English translation I will gladly rejoice in the Lord and my soul shall exult in my God, for He hath clothed me in the garments of salvation, and wrapped about me a cloak of righteousness, like a bride is bedecked with her jewels.
