Astiterunt reges terræ, et principes convenerunt in unum, adversus Dominum, et adversus Christum ejus. UARE fremuerunt Gentes: et populi meditati sunt inania? Astiterunt reges terræ, et principes convenerunt in unum: adversus Dominum, et adversus Christum ejus. Dirumpamus vincula rum: et projiciamus a nobis jugum ipsorum. eo Qui habitat in cœlis irridebit eos: et Dominus subsannabit eos. Tunc loquetur ad eos in ira sua et in furore suo conturbabit eos.

Serve the Lord with fear: and rejoice unto Him with trembling. Lay hold of discipline, lest at any time the Lord be angry and ye perish from the just way When His wrath shall be kindled in a short time; blessed are all they that trust in Him. Anth. The kings of the earth stood up, and the princes met together, against the Lord, and against His Christ. Anth. They parted my garments among them: and upon my vesture cast lots. GOD, my God, look upon forsaken me? Far from my salvation, are the words of my sins. O my God, I shall cry by day, and Thou wilt not hear: and by night, and it shall not be reputed as folly in me. But Thou dwellest in the holy place: the praise of Israel. In Thee have our fathers hoped: they hoped, and Thou didst deliver them. Unto Thee they cried and were saved: they trusted in Thee, and were not confounded. But I am a worm, and no man: the reproach of men, and the outcast of the people. All they that saw me |
