Lyrics (Latin):
Cantate Domino canticum novum:
cantate Domino omnis terra.
Cantate Domino benedicite nomini eius:
adnuntiate diem de die salutare eius.
Quoniam magnus Dominus et laudabilis valde
terribilis est super omnes deos.
Quoniam omnes dii gentium daemonia
at vero Dominus caelos fecit.
Confessio et pulchritudo in conspectu eius
sanctimonia et magnificentia in sanctificatione eius
Laetentur caeli et exultet terra:
commoveatur mare et plenitudo eius.
Cantate Domino canticum novum.
English translation:
Sing to the Lord a new song:
Sing to the Lord, all the earth.
Sing to the Lord and bless his name:
Proclaim from day to day his salvation.
The Lord is great and to be highly praised:
He is to be feared more than all the gods.
The gods of all other nations are only idols:
But the Lord created the heavens.
Glory and majesty are before him:
Power and beauty are in his sanctuary.
Let the heavens rejoice and let the earth be glad:
Let the sea and all that is therein roar.
Sing to the Lord a new song.
(English translation by Hirohisa Kanno)
