“Dievs, svetiLatviju!” ("God bless Latvia!") is the national anthem.
The anthem first appeared in the second half of the 19th century when the Latvian people were beginning to openly exhibit a strong sense of national pride and identity.
On June 7, 1920 "Dievs, svetiLatviju!” was officially proclaimed the national anthem of the Republic of Latvia.
