<poem>
Laudate Dominum in sanctus eius.
Laudate eum in firmamento virtutis eius.
Laudate eum in virtutibus eius.
Laudate eum secundum multitudinem magnitudinis eius.
Laudate eum in sono tubae.
Laudate eum in psalterio et cithara.
Laudate eum in tympano et choro.
Laudate ein in chordis et organo.
Laudate eum in cymbalis benesonantibus.
Laudate eum in cymbalis jubilationis.
Ominis spiritus laudet Dominum!
Alleluia.

<poem>
Praise ye the LORD.
Praise God in his sanctuary.
Praise him in the firmament of his power.
Praise him for his mighty acts.
Praise him according to his excellent greatness.
Praise him with the sound of the trumpet.
Praise him with the psaltery and harp.
Praise him with stringed instruments and organs.
Praise him upon the loud cymbals:
Praise him upon the high sounding cymbals.
Let every thing that hath breath praise the LORD.
Alleluia.

Edition notes: I have tried to add Usper's instructions as much as possible ("Here only Tenor sings" etc). As for the instrumentation, Usper only has two parts marked with the names of instruments (trombones), but many combinations can be considered - strings in one choir, winds in the other (cornetti and trombones), for example. The parts for the instruments are included. I made an error with his birthdate on the score - it should be 1560 and not 1570.
