Psalmus 2

Insurrexérunt in me testes iníqui, et mentíta est iníquitas sibi.

Why have the Gentiles raged, * and the people devised vain things?

2. Astitérunt reges terræ, et príncipes convenérunt in unum * advérsus Dóminum, et advérsus Christum ejus.

The kings of the earth stood up, and the princes met together, * against the Lord and against his Christ.

Pater

« Pater Noster » dicitur totum secreto.
Pater noster, qui es in cælis, sanctificétur nomen tuum: advéniat regnum tuum: fiat volúntas tua, sicut in cælo et in terra. Panem nostrum cotidiánum da nobis hódie: et dimítte nobis débita nostra, sicut et nos dimíttimus debitóribus nostris: et ne nos indúcas in tentatiónem: sed líbera nos a malo. Amen.
