Original text and translations

Latin text Audivi vocem de cælo, tamquam vocem aquarum multarum, et tanquam vocem tonitrui magni: et vocem quam audivi sicut citharœdorum citharizantium in citharis suis. Et cantabant quasi canticum novum ante sedem Dei, dicentium: Gloria tibi Domine.

English translation And I heard a voice from heaven, as the voice of many waters, and as the voice of a great thunder: and I heard the voice of harpers harping with their harps. And they sung as it were a new song before the throne of God, saying: "Glory be to thee, O Lord".
