Magnus es, domine, et laudabilis valde: magna virtus tua, et sapientiae tuae non est numberus. Et laudare te vult homo, aliqua portio creaturae tuae, et homo cicumferens mortalitatem suam, circumferens testimonium peccati sui et testimonium, quia superbis resistis: et tamen laudare te vult homo, aliquaportio creaturae tuae.
Great are you, Lord, and You ought to be praised: great is Your virtue, and Your wisdom is without enumeration. Man, as part of Your creation, ought to praise You, man, carrying his mortality around with him, carrying testimony of his sin around with him, which is resisted by the proud, even still man ought to praise You, as another portion of Your creation.
