Lyrics: 

R.  Astitérunt reges terræ, et príncipes convenérunt in unum, * Advérsus Dóminum, et advérsus Christum ejus.
V.  Quare fremuérunt Gentes, et pópuli meditáti sunt inánia?
R.   Advérsus Dóminum, et advérsus Christum ejus.

Translated Lyrics: 

R.  The kings of the earth have arisen, and the rulers have taken counsel together, * Against the Lord, and against his Anointed.
V.  Why do the heathen so furiously rage together, and why do the people imagine a vain thing?
R.   Against the Lord, and against his Anointed.
