Rex caeli, Domine maris undisoni, Titanis nitidi squalidique soli, Te humiles famuli modulis venerando piis Se, jubeas, flagitant variis liberare malis.
King of heaven, Lord of the sounding sea, of the shining Titan sun and the gloomy earth, Thy humble servants, worshiping Thee with devout song as Thou has bidden, earnestly entreat Thee to order them freed from their various ills.
Mortalis occulus videt in facie Tu autem latebras animi per agras. Sonoris fidibus famuli tibimet devoti Davidis sequiemur humilem regis precum hostiam.
The mortal eye sees the external form; Thou, however, dost search through the hiding places of the soul. With sounding strings, we servants devoted to Thee attend the humble offering of the prayers of King David.
Cithara sapientis melodia est Tibimet, genitor, forte placita; Cuncta captus devotorum laudum munia Nostri quoque sume voti harmoniam Placare, Domine, nostris obsequiis, Quae nocte ferimus, quoque meridie
The cithara is the song of the wise; to Thee, Creator, may it be pleasing. having obtained the whole service of praise of the devoted, receive also the harmony of our prayer. May Thou be appeased by our services, which we offer by night and also by day...
Hoc Saul ludicro mitigaverat, Spiritu cum sibi forte debilem Spiritalem abolebat justitiam Ipso joco tua cantans praeconia Haec sibi caelitus munera venerant, Ut iram dulcibus premeret modulis.
With this entertainment he had soothed Saul when from his soul, made feeble by chance, he was blotting out righteous justice; in this pastime singing your praises. These gifts had come to him from heaven, that he might check anger with pleasant melodies.
