Original text and translations

Latin text In aetérnum non oblivíscar iustificatiónes túas, Quía in ípsis vivificásti me. Ego sum túus; sálvum me fac, Quóniam iustificatiónes túas exquisívi. Me exspectavérunt peccatóres ut perdérent me, Testimónia túa intelléxi. Látum mandátum túum nímis. Amen.

English translation I will never forget your precepts, For by them you have given me life. I am yours; save me, For I have sought your precepts. The wicked lie in wait for me to destroy me; I have considered your testimonies. Your commandment is exceedingly broad. Amen.
