Latin text Auditam fac mihi mane misericordiam tuam, quia in te speravi. Notam fac mihi viam in qua ambulem, quia ad te levavi animam meam. Eripe me de inimicis meis, Domine: ad te confugi. Doce me facere voluntatem tuam, quia Deus meus es tu. Spiritus tuus bonus deducet me in terram rectam. Propter nomen tuum, Domine, vivificabis me: in aequitate tua. Educes de tribulatione animam meam, et in misericordia tua disperdes inimicos meos, et perdes omnes qui tribulant animam meam, quoniam ego servus tuus sum.

English translation O let me hear thy loving-kindness betimes in the morning, for in thee is my trust: shew thou me the way that I should walk in, for I lift up my soul unto thee. Deliver me, O Lord, from mine enemies: for I flee unto thee to hide me. Teach me to do the thing that pleaseth thee, for thou art my God. Let thy loving Spirit lead me forth into the land of righteousness. Quicken me, O Lord, for thy Name's sake: and for thy righteousness' sake. Bring my soul out of trouble, and of thy goodness slay mine enemies: and destroy all them that vex my soul; for I am thy servant.
