1Alleluja. [Confitebor tibi, Domine, in toto corde meo, in consilio justorum, et congregatione.

2Magna opera Domini: exquisita in omnes voluntates ejus.

3Confessio et magnificentia opus ejus, et justitia ejus manet in sæculum sæculi.

4Memoriam fecit mirabilium suorum, misericors et miserator Dominus.

5Escam dedit timentibus se; memor erit in sæculum testamenti sui.

6Virtutem operum suorum annuntiabit populo suo,

7ut det illis hæreditatem gentium. Opera manuum ejus veritas et judicium.

8Fidelia omnia mandata ejus, confirmata in sæculum sæculi, facta in veritate et æquitate.

9Redemptionem misit populo suo; mandavit in æternum testamentum suum. Sanctum et terribile nomen ejus.

10Initium sapientiæ timor Domini; intellectus bonus omnibus facientibus eum: laudatio ejus manet in sæculum sæculi.]

1I will praise thee, O Lord, with my whole heart; in the council of the just: and in the congregation.

2Great are the works of the Lord: sought out according to all his wills.

3His work is praise and magnificence: and his justice continueth for ever and ever.

4He hath made a remembrance of his wonderful works, being a merciful and gracious Lord:

5He hath given food to them that fear him. He will be mindful for ever of his covenant:

6He will shew forth to his people the power of his works.

7That he may give them the inheritance of the Gentiles: the works of his hands are truth and judgment.

8All his commandments are faithful: confirmed for ever and ever, made in truth and equity.

9He hath sent redemption to his people: he hath commanded his covenant for ever. Holy and terrible is his name:

10The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom. A good understanding to all that do it: his praise continueth for ever and ever.
