Text: Omnes gentes (Gabrieli)

Giovanni Gabrieli (c. 1554–1612)

Original Text English Translation
 
Omnes gentes, plaudite manibus.
Jubilate Deo
in voce exsultationis.
Quoniam Dominus excelsus,
terribilis rex magnus
super omnem terram.
Subjecit populos nobis
et gentes sub pedibus nostris.
Elegit nobis hereditatem suam
speciem Jacob
quam dilexit.
Ascendit Deus in jubilo,
et Dominus
in voce tubae.
Alleluja.		 All nations, clap your hands.
Make a joyful sound to God
with the sound of rejoicing.
For the Lord is exalted,
a great (and) dreadful king
over the whole earth.
He subjected peoples to us
and (put) nations under our feet.
He chose for us as his inheritance
the splendor of Jacob
which he prized.
God went up with a joyful sound,
and the Lord
with the sound of the trumpet.
Hallelujah.
Psalm 46:2–6 (47:1–5) with hallelujah
