Annotations to James Joyce's Ulysses/Nausicaa/348


Annotations edit

Laudate Dominum omnes gentes     (Latin) Praise the Lord, all nations.[1] At the conclusion of the Benediction of the Blessed Sacrament, as the celebrant is replacing the Sacrament in the tabernacle, the congregation sing an antiphon based on Psalm 117 (Vulgate 116), Laudate Dominum:

Psalms 117[2]

Laudate Dominum, omnes gentes: conlaudate eum, universi populi
Quia confortata est super nos misericordia eius: et veritas Domini in aeternum.

O praise the LORD, all ye nations: praise him, all ye people.
For his merciful kindness is great toward us: and the truth of the LORD endureth for ever.
