Original text and translations

Latin text Benedic Domine domum istam quam aedificavi nomini tuo. Venientium in locum istum exaudi preces in excelso solio gloriae tuae. Audi preces quas fundit populus tuus coram te ut aperias oculos tuos super domum istam. Venientium in locum istum exaudi preces in excelso solio gloriae tuae.

English translation Bless O Lord this house which I have built in your name. Hear the prayers offered in this place in the high throne of your glory. Hear the prayers which your people pour out before you, that you might open your eyes upon this house. Hear the prayers offered in this place in the high throne of your glory.
