Latin text

Quare fremuerunt gentes, et populi meditati sunt inania ?
Astiterunt reges terrae, et principes convenerunt in unum adversus Dominum, et adversus Christum ejus.
Dirumpamus vincula eorum, et projiciamus a nobis jugum ipsorum.
Qui habitat in caelis irridebit eos, et Dominus subsannabit eos.
Tunc loquetur ad eos in ira sua, et in furore suo conturbabit eos.
Ego autem constitutus sum rex ab eo super Sion, montem sanctum ejus, prædicans praeceptum ejus.
(Ps. 2; 1-6)
