Latin text
Dextera Domini fecit virtutem,
dextera Domini exaltavit me :
non moriar, sed vivam,
et narrabo opera Domini.

French translation
La droite du Seigneur a manifesté sa puissance ;
La droite du Seigneur m'a élevé :
Je ne mourrai pas, mais je vivrai,
Et je raconterai les œuvres du Seigneur.

English translation
The right hand of the Lord has made virtue,
The right hand of the Lord has raised me up:
I shall not die, but live,
and shall tell the works of the Lord. (Ps 118.16-17)
