1   [Alleluja.] Beati [immaculati in via]1,
    qui ambulant in lege Domini.
  Beati qui scrutantur testimonia ejus;
    in toto corde exquirunt eum.
  Non enim qui operantur iniquitatem
    in viis ejus ambulaverunt.
  Tu mandasti mandata tua
    custodiri nimis.
  Utinam dirigantur viæ meæ
    ad custodiendas justificationes tuas.
[ ... ]
  Justificationes tuas custodiam;
    non me derelinquas usquequaque.

Language: German (Deutsch)  after the Latin 
1   Wohl denen, die ohne Wandel leben,
    die im Gesetz des HERRN wandeln!
  Wohl denen, die seine Zeugnisse halten,
    die ihn von ganzem Herzen suchen!
  Denn welche auf seinen Wegen wandeln,
    die tun kein Übels.
  Du hast geboten, fleißig 
    zu halten deine Befehle.
  O daß mein Leben deine Rechte
    mit ganzem Ernst hielte!
 ... 
  Deine Rechte will ich halten;
    verlaß mich nimmermehr!
