2 Bonum est confiteri Domino
et psallere nomini tuo, Altissime,
3 annuntiare mane misericordiam tuam
et veritatem tuam per noctem
4 in decachordo et psalterio,
cum cantico in cithara.
5 Quia delectasti me, Domine, in factura tua,
et in operibus manuum tuarum exsultabo.
6 Quam magnificata sunt opera tua, Domine:
nimis profundae factae sunt cogitationes tuae.
7 Vir insipiens non cognoscet,
et stultus non intelleget haec.
It is good to praise the Lord,
and to sing psalms to your name, O Most High,
to proclaim your mercy in the morning
and your faithfulness by night;
on the ten-stringed lyre and the harp,
with songs upon the lyre.
For you give me joy, Lord, in your creation:
I rejoice in the work of your hands.
How great are your works, O Lord,
how immeasurably deep your thoughts.
The fool does not hear,
the slow-witted do not understand.
(Psalm 92:2-7)
