Deus misereatur. A prayer for the propagation of the church.
1 Unto the end, in hymns, a psalm of a canticle for David.
2
May God have mercy on us, and bless us: may he cause the light of his countenance to shine upon us, and may he have mercy on us.
3
That we may know thy way upon earth: thy salvation in all nations.
4
Let people confess to thee, O God: let all people give praise to thee.
5
Let the nations be glad and rejoice: for thou judgest the people with justice, and directest the nations upon earth.
6
Let the people, O God, confess to thee: let all the people give praise to thee:
7
The earth hath yielded her fruit. May God, our God bless us,
8
May God bless us: and all the ends of the earth fear him.
