Laudate omnes gentes

Laudate omnes gentes - is the first line of Psalm 117 in Latin. It is also used as a stanza sung during Mass. The words in Latin and English translation are as follows:

Latin

Omnes gentes, pláudite mánibus: * jubiláte Deo in voce exsultatiónis.

Quóniam Dóminus excélsus, terríbilis: * Rex magnus super omnem terram.

Subjécit pópulos nobis: * et gentes sub pédibus nostris.

Elégit nobis hereditátem suam: * spéciem Jacob, quam diléxit.

Ascéndit Deus in júbilo: * et Dóminus in voce tubæ.

Psállite Deo nostro, psállite: * psállite Regi nostro, psállite.

Quóniam Rex omnis terræ Deus: * psállite sapiénter.

Regnábit Deus super gentes: * Deus sedet super sedem sanctam suam.

Príncipes populórum congregáti sunt cum Deo Ábraham: * quóniam dii fortes terræ veheménter eleváti sunt.

English

O clap your hands, all ye nations: * shout unto God with the voice of joy,

For the Lord is high, terrible: * a great king over all the earth.

He hath subdued the people under us; * and the nations under our feet.

He hath chosen for us his inheritance, * the beauty of Jacob which he hath loved.

God is ascended with jubilee, * and the Lord with the sound of trumpet.

Sing praises to our God, sing ye: * sing praises to our king, sing ye.

For God is the king of all the earth: * sing ye wisely.

God shall reign over the nations: * God sitteth on his holy throne.

The princes of the people are gathered together, with the God of Abraham: * for the strong gods of the earth are exceedingly exalted.
