regnavit

It is the translation into visible form of the Psalm verse “God has ruled from a tree” -- “regnavit a ligno Deus.”

Zenit: Fr. Cantalamessa's Gospel Commentary for Feast of the Exaltation of the Cross

Lauds is often introduced with Dominus regnavit, "The Lord is King".

Feast of Christ the King

Also characteristic is the verse from Psalm 95, Dicite in gentibus quia Dominus regnavit, to which the early Christians always added, a ligno, "Proclaim among the Gentiles: the Lord reigns from upon the tree of the Cross!"
