Original text and translations

Latin text

Venite et videte opera Domini
quae posuit prodigia super terram
auferens bella usque ad finem terrae.

Reges terrae congregati sunt
convenerunt in unum.

Videntes sic admirati sunt
conturbati sunt et commoti sunt
tremor apprehendit eos.

Psallite Deo nostro.
