Ad te, Domine, levavi animam meam:
Deus meus, in te confido; non erubescam.


Neque irrideant me inimici mei:
etenim universi qui sustinent te, non confundentur.


Confundantur omnes iniqua agentes supervacue.
Vias tuas, Domine, demonstra mihi, et semitas tuas edoce me.


Dirige me in veritate tua, et doce me,
quia tu es Deus salvator meus, et te sustinui tota die.


Reminiscere miserationum tuarum, Domine,
et misericordiarum tuarum quæ a sæculo sunt.


Delicta juventutis meæ, et ignorantias meas, ne memineris.

Secundum misericordiam tuam memento mei tu,
propter bonitatem tuam, Domine.


Dulcis et rectus Dominus;
propter hoc legem dabit delinquentibus in via.


Diriget mansuetos in judicio; docebit mites vias suas.


Universæ viæ Domini, misericordia et veritas,
requirentibus testamentum ejus et testimonia ejus.


Propter nomen tuum, Domine,
propitiaberis peccato meo; multum est enim.

Unto thee, O Lord, do I lift up my soul.
O my God, I trust in thee: let me not be ashamed,
let not mine enemies triumph over me.


Yea, let none that wait on thee be ashamed:
let them be ashamed which transgress without cause.


Shew me thy ways, O Lord; teach me thy paths.


Lead me in thy truth, and teach me:
for thou art the God of my salvation;
on thee do I wait all the day.


Remember, O Lord, thy tender mercies and thy loving kindnesses;
for they have been ever of old.


Remember not the sins of my youth, nor my transgressions:
according to thy mercy remember thou me
for thy goodness' sake, O Lord.


Good and upright is the Lord:
therefore will he teach sinners in the way.


The meek will he guide in judgment:
and the meek will he teach his way.


All the paths of the Lord are mercy and truth
unto such as keep his covenant and his testimonies.


For thy name's sake, O Lord, pardon mine iniquity;
for it is great.

The Book of Psalms of David: Ch. 25, Vrs. 1-11

“Rejoice greatly, O dauhter of Zion;
shout, O daughter of Jerusalem: behold, thy King cometh unto thee:
he is just, and having salvation;
lowly, and riding upon an ass, and upon a colt the foal of an ass.”


The Book of  Zechariah: Ch. 9, Vrs. 9
