6 Ascendit Deus in jubilo, et Dominus in voce tubæ. |

10 Principes populorum congregati sunt cum Deo Abraham, quoniam dii fortes terræ vehementer elevati sunt. |
10 The princes of the people are gathered together, with the God of Abraham: for the strong gods of the earth are exceedingly exalted. |
