Text and translations

Latin text 24:1  Ad te [Domine] levavi animam meam, Deus meus, in te confido: non erubescam neque irrideant me inimici mei. 24:2a  Etenim universi qui te expectant non confundentur. Versus: 24:3  Vias tuas, Domine, demonstra mihi: et semitas tuas edoce me. Hungarian translation Tehozzád emelem föl lelkemet, én Istenem, tebenned bízom, meg ne pirúljak, és ne nevessenek ki engem az én ellenségeim; mert mindazok, kik téged várnak, meg nem szégyenűlnek.

English translation 25:1  Unto thee, O Lord, will I lift up my soul; my God, I have put my trust in thee: O let me not be confounded, neither let mine enemies triumph over me. 25:2a  For all they that hope in thee shall not be ashamed. Introit verse: 25:3  Shew me thy ways, O Lord : and teach me thy paths. Book of Common Prayer French translation Vers toi j'élève mon âme,mon Dieu, en toi je mets ma confiance; je n'aurai pas à en rougir. Que mes ennemis ne se moquent pas de moi, car tous ceux qui t'attendent ne seront pas confondus. Seigneur, fais-moi connaître tes voies, enseigne-moi tes sentiers.
