Latin text

Confirma hoc, Deus,
quod operatus es in nobis,
a templo tuo,
quod est in Jerusalem,
tibi offerent
reges munera,
Alleluia.

Translation(s):

English translation

Confirm, O God,
what thou hast wrought in us.
From thy temple in Jerusalem
Kings shall offer presents to thee.
Alleluia.

Psalm 67:29-30 according to the Vulgate numbering, although the Latin is not the Vulgate version. Psalm 68:28-29 in the New International Version, which reads (suggesting that the Latin itself is partly a mistranslation):

Show us your strength O God, as you have done before.
Because of your temple at Jerusalem kings will bring you gifts.
