Perfect Thou my goings in Thy paths,
Perfect Thou my goings in Thy paths,
that my footsteps be not moved:
that my footsteps be not moved:
incline Thy ear, and hear my words,
incline Thine ear, and hear my words,
show forth Thy wonderful mercies,
show forth Thy wonderful mercies,
Thou who savest them that trust in Thee, O Lord.
Thou who savest them that trust in Thee, O Lord.

Perfice gressus meos in semitis tuis
Ut non moveantur vestigia mea:
Inclina aurem tuam et exaudi verba mea:
Mirifica misericordias tuas
Qui salvos facis sperantes in te, Domine.
