In memoria aeterna erit justus.
Ab auditione mala non timebit.
Laudate Dominum de terra.
Laudate reges, omnes populi, 
principes et omnes judices terrae,
laudate Dominum.
In memoria aeterna erit justus,
Ab auditione mala non timebit justus. Amen.

Forever shall the just be remembered.
He has no fear of evil news.
Praise the Lord from the earth.
Kings of the earth and all peoples,

praise the Lord.
Forever shall the just be remembered.
He has no fear of evil news. Amen.
