Lyrics:

Cantate Domino canticum novum; 
laus ejus in ecclesia sanctorum.
Laetetur Israel in eo qui fecit eum, 
et filii Sion exsultent in rege suo.
Laudent nomen ejus in choro; 
in tympano et psalterio psallant ei.
Exsultabunt sancti in gloria; 
laetabuntur in cubilibus suis.
Exaltationes Dei in facibus eorum.

English translation:
Sing to the Lord a new song
of praise in the assembly of the faithful.
Let Israel be glad in their maker,
let the children of Zion rejoice in their king.
Let them praise his name in the festive dance,
let them sing praise to him with timbrel and harp.
Let the faithful exult in glory;
let them sing for joy upon their couches;
let the high praises of God be in their throats.
