Latin text
Vultum tuum deprecabuntur omnes divites plebis: adducentur Regi virgines post eam: proximae ejus adducentur tibi in laetitia et exultatione, alleluia.
Eructavit cor meum verbum bonum, dico ego opera mea Regi.
Gloria Patri et Filio et Spiritui Sancto. Sicut erat in principio, et nunc, et semper, et in saecula saeculorum. Amen.
Psalm 44: 13, 15, 16, 2.
English translation
All the rich among the people shall entreat thy countenance: after her shall virgins be brought to the King: her neighbours
shall be brought to thee in gladness and rejoicing. Alleluia.
My heart hath uttered a good word: I speak my works to the King.
Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit. As it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be, world without end. Amen.
