<poem>
David rex propheta Dei
David musicorum decus
non tantum sacris victimis
festisque caeremoniis
sed musicis concentibus
sed dulcibus harmoniis
Deum placare studuit.
Quater mille dictu mirum usus est cantoribus qui Deum laudibus piis confiterentur fervidi voce tuba lyra cornu David vos sit exemplo heus quot quot estis musici. <poem>
English translation
<poem>
King David was God’s prophet.
David, that glory of musicians,
strove to please God, not so much
with sacrifices and festive ceremonies
as with music and sweet harmonies.
He used, wondrous to tell, four times a thousand singers, to confess their devotion to God with an ardent voice, and with the trumpet, lyre and horn. Let David serve as an example to all of you musicians.
