Laudemus nunc Dominum | |||
in canticis et modulationibus sonoris, | |||
quoniam hodie salus huic domui facta est. | |||
Numquid non David | |||
stare fecit cantores ante altare | |||
et in sono eorum dulces fecit modos, | |||
ut laudarent nomen Domini sanctum | |||
et amplificarent mane Dei sanctitatem? | |||
Psallamus igitur singuli: | |||
sint oculi tui, Domine, super domum hanc | |||
quam aedificavimus tibi | |||
et exaudias deprecationem populi tui | |||
sacrificia et holocausta | |||
super altare tuum offerentis. Alleluia.'' | |||
''Cantus firmus [Genesis 28:17]:'' | |||
''Non est hic aliud'' | |||
''nisi domus Dei et porta caeli.'' | |||
Cantemus Domino canticum novum, | |||
laus ejus in ecclesia sanctorum. Alleluia. | |||
Numquid non patres nostri Noe, Abraham, | |||
Aaron, David et Jesus Josedech | |||
in diebus suis | |||
aedificaverunt altaria Domino | |||
et nomen Domini invocantes | |||
exaltaverunt templum sanctum Domino | |||
paratum in gloria sempiterna? | |||
Laudemus igitur Dominum, | |||
quoniam hodie salus | |||
huic domui a Deo facta est. | |||
Alleluia. | |||
''Cantus firmi [Genesis 28:12,17-18]:'' | |||
''Vidit Jacob scalam, '' | |||
''sumitas ejus caelos tangebat'' | |||
''et descendentes angelos et dixit:'' | |||
''Vere locus iste sanctus est. Alleluia.'' | |||
''Erexit Jacob lapidem in titulum,'' | |||
''fundens oleum desuper. Alleluia.'' | |||

<poem> | |||
Let us now praise the Lord | |||
in songs and rhythmic sounds, | |||
for today salvation has come to this house. | |||
Did not David | |||
have singers stand before the high altar | |||
and in their sound make sweet rhythms, | |||
that they might praise the holy name of the Lord | |||
and enlarge in the morning the holiness of God? | |||
So let each of us strike the harp: | |||
may your eyes, O Lord, be upon this house | |||
which we have built for you | |||
and may you hear the prayer of your people | |||
as sacrifices and burnt offerings | |||
upon your altar they offer. Alleluia. | |||
''This is none other than'' | |||
''the house of God and gate of heaven.'' | |||
Let us sing to the Lord a new song, | |||
his praise in the church of saints. Alleluia. | |||
Did not our fathers Noah, Abraham, | |||
Aaron, David and Jesus the son of Joseph | |||
in their day | |||
build altars to the Lord | |||
and, invoking the name of the Lord, | |||
exalt the holy temple to the Lord | |||
prepared in everlasting glory? | |||
Therefore let us praise the Lord, | |||
for today salvation | |||
has been brought to this house from God. | |||
Alleluia. | |||
''Jacob saw a ladder,'' | |||
''its top touching heaven'' | |||
''and angels descending, and he said:'' | |||
''"Truly this place is holy." Alleluia.'' | |||
''Jacob set the stone up as a pillar,'' | |||
''pouring oil on top of it. Alleluia.'' | |||
