A mari usque ad mare

Common card · No. 390956

A mari usque ad mare (Latin: [aː ˈmariː ˈuːskʷɛ ad ˈmarɛ]; French: D'un océan à l'autre, French pronunciation: [dœ̃nɔseˈã aˈloʊ̯tʁ]; English: From sea to sea) is the Canadian national motto. The phrase comes from the Latin Vulgate translation of Psalm 72:8 in the Bible: "Et dominabitur a mari usque ad mare, et a flumine usque ad terminos terrae"(King James Bible: "He shall have dominion also from sea to sea, and from the river unto the ends of the earth").
