Question about Latin Catholic hymn.

I didn't know where else to ask. In the Salve Regina, the text reads: "Salve, Regina, Mater misericordiae." Why is it then that I have come across recordings that leave out "Mater"?

With:
Salve Regina - YouTube

Without:
Chant of the Templars - Salve Regina (final part) - YouTube

Thanks!
