Original text and translations

Latin text

Cognovi, Domine, quia aequitas judicia tua, et in veritate tua humiliasti me.
Veniant mihi miserationes tuae, et vivam, quia lex tua meditatio mea est.
Psalm 118 (119); 75, 77

English translation

I know, O Lord, that thy judgments are equity: and in thy truth thou hast humbled me.
Let thy tender mercies come unto me, and I shall live: for thy law is my meditation.

Hungarian translation

Megismerem, Uram! hogy igazság a te itéleteid, és igazvoltodban aláztál meg engem.
Jőjenek rám a te könyörűleteid, hogy éljek; mert a te törvényed az én elmélkedésem.
