-
Aiming the divine bows and arrows of the Spirit against every opposing shaft, David with his song-inspired lyre verily strikes, wounds, pursues, and vanquishes; he wings the souls of all the faithful toward their God, and rouses them from grovelling thoughts to spiritual salvation in (good) works.

Tesi gli archi e scoccati i dardi divini dello spirito
con la lira suonata al canto dei salmi, David,
mentre ogni assalto di demoni
rovescia, ferisce, mette in fuga, respinge,
ogni anima di fedeli fa volare verso Dio
e la solleva dagli affanni terreni
verso la vera salvezza spirituale.

Spiritus divina iacula, telaque
Intendens David lyra psalmo - motrice
Omnem fere incursum contrarium
Sternit, vulnerat, persequitur et avertit;
Fidelium vero omnium mentes ad Deum erigit,
et a curibus terrestribus attolit
ad animae salutem in operibus.
