Text and translations
{{Text|Latin| 11 Laetentur caeli, et exsultet terra; commoveatur mare et plenitudo eius; 12 gaudebunt campi, et omnia quae in eis sunt. Tunc exsultabunt omnia ligna silvarum 13 a facie Domini, quia venit, quoniam venit judicare terram. Judicabit orbem terrae in aequitate, et populos in veritate sua. |
English translation 11 Let the heavens rejoice, and let the earth be glad: let the sea make a noise, and all that therein is. |
