Latin text 1  Exultate, justi, in Domino; rectos decet collaudatio. 2  Confitemini Domino in cithara; in psalterio decem chordarum psallite illi. 3  Cantate ei canticum novum; bene psallite ei in vociferatione. 4  Quia rectum est verbum Domini, et omnia opera ejus in fide.

English translation 1  Rejoice in the Lord, O ye righteous: for it becometh well the just to be thankful. 2  Praise the Lord with harp: sing praises unto him with the lute, and instrument of ten strings. 3  Sing unto the Lord a new song: sing praises lustily unto him with a good courage. 4  For the word of the Lord is true: and all his works are faithful.
