Original text and translations

Latin text Psalm 24:16, 18, 1-2a (Vulgate) Respice in me, et miserere mei, Domine :     quoniam unicus et pauper sum ego. Vide humilitatem meam, et laborem meum :     et dimitte omnia peccata mea Deus meus. Ad te, Domine, levavi animam meam :     Deus meus, in te confido, non erubescam. Gloria Patri...

English translation Psalm 25:16, 18, 1-2a Turn to me and have mercy on me, O Lord,     for I am lonely and afflicted. Consider my shame and my trouble     and forgive all my sins, my God. To thee, O Lord, I lift up my soul :     my God, in thee I put my trust, let me not be ashamed. Glory be to the Father...
