Latin text

Si ambulavero in medio tribulationis, vivificabis me, Domine,
et super iram inimicorum meorum extendes manum tuam.
et salvum me fecit dextera tua.

English translation

If I walk in the midst of tribulation you shall preserve my life, O Lord;
you shall stretch forth your hand against the fury of my enemies;
your right hand has delivered me.
