100:2 Perambulábam in innocéntia cordis mei, * in médio domus meæ.
100:3 Non proponébam ante óculos meos rem iniústam: * faciéntes prævaricatiónes odívi.
100:4 Non adhǽsit mihi cor pravum: * declinántem a me malígnum non cognoscébam.
100:5 Detrahéntem secréto próximo suo, * hunc persequébar.
100:5 Supérbo óculo, et insatiábili corde, * cum hoc non edébam.
100:6 Óculi mei ad fidéles terræ ut sédeant mecum: * ámbulans in via immaculáta, hic mihi ministrábat.
100:7 Non habitábit in médio domus meæ qui facit supérbiam: * qui lóquitur iníqua, non diréxit in conspéctu oculórum meórum.
100:8 In matutíno interficiébam omnes peccatóres terræ: * ut dispérderem de civitáte Dómini omnes operántes iniquitátem.

100:1 I will sing mercy and judgment to you, O Lord: * I will sing psalms.

100:5 The one who secretly detracted his neighbor, * this one I pursued.
100:5 The one with an arrogant eye and an insatiable heart, * with that one I would not eat.
100:6 My eyes looked toward the faithful of the earth, to sit with me: * the one walking in the immaculate way, this one ministered to me.
100:7 He who has acted arrogantly will not dwell in the midst of my house: * he who has spoken iniquity was not guided with the sight of my eyes.
100:8 In the morning, I executed all the sinners of the earth: * so that I might scatter all the workers of iniquity from the city of the Lord.

16:17 Tibi sérviat omnis creatúra tua: * quia dixísti, et facta sunt:
16:18 Misísti spíritum tuum, et creáta sunt, * et non est qui resístat voci tuæ.
16:19 Montes a fundaméntis movebúntur cum aquis: * petræ, sicut cera, liquéscent ante fáciem tuam.

Iesu, coróna Vírginum,

Septus choréis Vírginum,
Sponsus decórus glória
Sponsísque reddens prǽmia.

Quocúmque tendis, Vírgines
Sequúntur, atque láudibus
Post te canéntes cúrsitant,

whom that Mother conceived
who alone as a Virgin gives birth:
receive graciously these vows:

You who walk among the lilies
surrounded by the choirs of Virgins,
the Bridegroom glorious in splendor,
bestowing rewards upon your brides.

Wherever you go, the Virgins
follow, and hasten after you
with praises singing,
and resound sweet hymns;

we implore you as suppliants,
that you grant to our senses
to be utterly ignorant
of all the wounds of corruption.

Power, honor, praise, and glory
to God the Father with the Son,
and likewise to the Holy Paraclete,
unto ages of ages.
Amen.
