Levavi oculos meos
unde veniet auxilium mihi.

Auxilium meum a Domino
qui fecit cælum et terram.

Non det in commotionem pedem tuum
neque dormitet, qui custodit te.

Ecce non dormitabit
neque dormiet, qui custodit Isræl.

Dominus custodit te, Dominus protectio tua
super manum dexteram tuam.

Per diem sol non uret te
neque luna per noctem.

Dominus custodit te ab omni malo
custodiat animam tuam Dominus.

Dominus custodiat introitum tuum, et exitum tuum
ex hoc nunc, et usque in sæculum
