Original text and translations

Latin text Dominus dixit ad me: Filius meus es tu, ego hodie genui te. Quare fremuerunt gentes: et populi meditati sunt inania? Astierunt reges terrae, et principes convenierunt in unum adversus Dominum et adversus Christus eius.

English translation The Lord hath said to me: Thou art my son, this day have I begotten Thee. Why have the Gentiles raged and the people devised vain things? The kings of the earth set themselves, and the rulers take counsel together, against the Lord and against Christ himself.
