Deus, venerunt gentes in hæreditatem...
Language: Latin 
[ ... ]
 Usquequo, Domine, irasceris in finem?
   accendetur velut ignis zelus tuus?

   quia pauperes facti sumus nimis.
 Adjuva nos, Deus salutaris noster,
   et propter gloriam nominis tui, Domine, libera nos:
   et propitius esto peccatis nostris, propter nomen tuum.
