Original text and translations

Latin text Erravi sicut ovis quae periit: require servum tuum, quia mandata tua non sum oblitus. Delicta juventutis meae, et ignorantias meas, ne memineris, quia mandata tua non sum oblitus.

English translation I have gone astray like a sheep that is lost: seek your servant, for I have not forgotten your commandments. The sins of my youth and my ignorances remember not, for I have not forgotten your commandments.
