Original text and translations

Latin text

Consurge induere fortitudinem brachium Domini.
Consurge sicut in diebus antiquis in generationibus saeculorum.
Numquid non tu percussisti superbum,
numquid non tu siccasti mare, aquam abyssi vehementes,
numquid non tu siccasti mare, numquid non tu posuisti profundum maris viam,
ut transirent liberasti.

Et nunc qui redempti sunt a Domino,
revertentur et venient in Sion laudantes,
et laetitia sempiterna super capite eorum fugiat dolor et gemitus,
fugiat dolor, gaudium et laetitiam tenebunt, et laetitia sempiterna super capite eorum.
