Tractus
Atténde, cælum, et loquar :
Give ear, O heavens and I will speak;
et áudiat terra verba ex ore meo.
let the earth hearken to the words of my mouth.
Exspectétur sicut plúvia elóquium meum :
Let my speech be longed for as the rain;
et descéndant sicut ros verba mea, sicut imber super grámina.
let my words come down like the dew, like showers upon the grass.
Et sicut nix super fenum:
Yes, and like snow upon the dry herb;
quia nomen Dómini invocábo.
for I will invoke the name of the Lord.
Date magnitúdinem Deo nostro :
Ascribe greatness to our God;
Deus, vera ópera ejus,
the works of God are true
et omnes viæ ejus judícia.
and all his ways are justice.
Deus fidélis, in quo non est iníquitas :
God is faithful, there is no iniquity in him;
justus et sanctus Dóminus.
the Lord is just and holy.
