Terribilis est locus iste

R.Terríbilis est / locus iste: † non est hic áliud nisi domus Dei et porta caeli: * Vere étenim Dóminus est in loco isto, et ego nesciébam. V. Vidit Iacob in somnis scalam, súmmitas eius cælos tangébat, † et Angelos Dei descendéntes et ascendéntes per eam, et ait. R. Vere étenim Dóminus est in loco isto, et ego nesciébam. V. Glória Patri, et Fílio, et Spirítui Sancto. R. Vere étenim Dóminus est in loco isto, et ego nesciébam.

R. How terrible is this place! This is no other but the house of God, and the gate of heaven. * Indeed the Lord is in this place, and I knew it not. V. Jacob saw in his sleep a ladder standing upon the earth, and the top thereof touching heaven: the angels also of God ascending and descending by it. R. Indeed the Lord is in this place, and I knew it not. V. Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Ghost. R. Indeed the Lord is in this place, and I knew it not.
