Latin text Benedictus Deus Pater, Unigenitusque Dei Filius, Sanctus quoque Spiritus: quia fecit nobiscum misericordiam suam. Benedicite Deum coeli, et coram omnibus viventibus confitebimur ei, quia fecit nobiscum misericordiam suam.

English translation Blessed be God the Father, and the Only‑begotten Son of God, and also the Holy Spirit: for He has shown us His mercy. Bless the God of heaven, and before all the living we will give thanks to Him, for He has shown His mercy to us.
