Text: Cantate Domino, SWV 81

Heinrich Schütz (1585–1672)
from Cantiones Sacrae

Original Text English Translation
 
Cantate Domino canticum novum;
laus ejus in ecclesia sanctorum.
Laetetur Israel in eo qui fecit eum,
et filiae Syon
exultent in rege suo.
Laudent nomen ejus
in tympano et choro:
in psalterio psalant ei.
O sing ye to the Lord, sing ye a new song;
Hie praise is in the company of his saints.
Let all of Israel rejoice now in him who made us,
let children of Zion
rejoice now and praise Jehovah.
Let them praise Him forever,
with tymbrel and harp and dancing:
let everything praise God.
