Original text and translations

Latin text

David rex propheta Dei
David musicorum decus
non tantum sacris victimis
festisque caeremoniis
sed musicis concentibus
sed dulcibus harmoniis
Deum placare studuit.

Quater mille dictu mirum
usus est cantoribus
qui Deum laudibus piis
confiterentur fervidi
voce tuba lyra cornu
David vos sit exemplo
heus quot quot estis musici.

English translation

King David was God’s prophet.
David, that glory of musicians,
strove to please God, not so much
with sacrifices and festive ceremonies
as with music and sweet harmonies.

He used, wondrous to tell,
four times a thousand singers,
to confess their devotion to God
with an ardent voice,
and with the trumpet, lyre and horn.
Let David serve as an example
to all of you musicians.
