Deus misereatur. A prayer for the propagation of the church.

 1 Unto the end, in, hymns, a psalm of a canticle for David.
In finem, in hymnis. Psalmus cantici David.

 2 May God have mercy on us, and bless us: may he cause the light of his countenance to shine upon us, and may he have mercy on us.
Deus misereatur nostri, et benedicat nobis; illuminet vultum suum super nos, et misereatur nostri;

 3 That we may know thy way upon earth: thy salvation in all nations.
ut cognascamus in terra viam tuam, in omnibus gentibus salutare tuum.

 4 Let people confess to thee, O God: let all people give praise to thee.
Confiteantur tibi populi, Deus, confiteantur tibi populi omnes.

 5 Let the nations be glad and rejoice: for thou judgest the people with justice, and directest the nations upon earth.
Laetentur et exsultent gentes, quoniam judicas populos in aequitate, et gentes in terra dirigis.

 6 Let the people, O God, confess to thee: let all the people give praise to thee:
Confiteantur tibi populi, Deus, confiteantur tibi populi omnes.

 7 The earth hath yielded her fruit. May God, our God bless us,
Terra dedit fructum suum : benedicat nos Deus, Deus noster!

 8 May God bless us: and all the ends of the earth fear him.
Benedicat nos Deus, et metuant eum omnes fines terrae.
