Original text and translations

Latin text Quam benignus es, o Domine Deus, omnibus in te sperantibus et animabus te timentibus. Quantum bonum est in silentio praestolari salutare tuum. O beatum hominem cui tu protector es, Domine. Spes ejus in te, Domino Deo ipsius, qui caelum et terram fecisti.

Hungarian translation Milyen jó vagy, Uram Istenem a tebenned bízókhoz és a téged félő lelkekhez. Milyen jó csendben várni szabadításodra. Ó, boldog az az ember, akinek te vagy a védelmezője, Uram. Reménye tebenned van, az Úrban, az ő Istenében, aki az eget és a földet alkotta.

English translation How good you are, o Lord God, to all who hope in you and to all souls who fear you. How good it is to await your salvation in silence. O fortunate man to whom you are protector, Lord. His hope is in you, his Lord God, who made heaven and earth.
