Latin.png Latin text

Speciosus forma prae filiis hominum: diffusa est gratia in labiis tuis.
Eructavit cor meum verbum bonum: Dico ego opera mea Regi.
Lingua mea calamus scribae velociter scribentis, alleluia.

Thou art beautiful above the sons of men: grace is poured abroad in thy lips.
My heart hath uttered a good word: I speak my works to the king.
My tongue is the pen of a scrivener that writeth swiftly. Alleluia.
(Psalm 44:3,2,1)
