Text and translations

The Cantus interpolation is peculiar to the setting by di Lasso

Latin text Congregati sunt inimici nostri, et gloriantur in virtute sua: contere fortitudinem illorum, Domine, et disperge illos: Ut cognoscant, quia non est alius qui pugnet pro nobis, nisi tu Deus noster. Disperge illos in virtute tua, et destrue eos protector noster, Domine. Cantus: Dissipa gentes quae bella volunt

English translation Our foes are gathered and rejoice in their strength: wear down their might, O Lord, and scatter them: that they may learn that there is none other that fighteth for us, but only thou, O Lord. Scatter them in thy might, and destroy them, O Lord our protector. Cantus: Scatter those peoples that desire strife. (trans Timmi O'Danaos & Donna Ferentes)

German translation Unsere Feinde haben sich versammelt und rühmen sich ihrer Tapferkeit. Zermürbe ihre Stärke, Herr, und zerstreue sie, damit sie erkennen, daß kein anderer ist, der für uns kämpft, außer dir, unser Gott.
