Original text and translations
Latin text
Laetentur coeli, et exsultet terra.
Jubilate montes laudem, quia dominus noster veniet,
et pauperum suorum miserebitur.
Orietur in diebus tuis justitia et abundantia pacis.
English translation
Let the heavens be glad and let the earth rejoice.
Let the mountains be joyful with praise, because our Lord will come,
and will show mercy to his poor.
In your days, justice and abundance of peace shall arise.
