Song after Sisera§1

1On Deborah’s song. Sisera with iron chariots — victory becomes song. Grace after war begets a hymn.

Latin · §1

De cantico Debborae. Sisara cum curribus ferreis — victoria in cantico. Gratia post bellum hymnum gignit.

Bless the Lord — princes and people§2

2 When princes lead in Israel, when the people offer themselves, bless the Lord. Extinguish all the evil one’s flaming darts.

Latin · §2

In incipiendo principes in Israel in voluntatibus populi benedicite Domino. Omnia tela maligni ignita exstinguere.

Hear, O kings§3

3 Hear, O kings; give ear, O rulers — I will sing to the Lord. The church’s song teaches earth’s kings. Amen.

Latin · §3

Audite reges, percipite satrapae — ego Domino canam. Cantus ecclesiae reges terrae docet. Amen.
