1 [Canticum graduum.] Levavi oculos meos in montes, unde veniet auxilium mihi. 2 Auxilium meum a Domino, qui fecit cælum et terram. 3 Non det in commotionem pedem tuum, neque dormitet qui custodit te. 4 Ecce non dormitabit neque dormiet qui custodit Israël. 5 Dominus custodit te; Dominus protectio tua super manum dexteram tuam. 6 Per diem sol non uret te, neque luna per noctem. 7 Dominus custodit te ab omni malo; custodiat animam tuam Dominus. 8 Dominus custodiat introitum tuum et exitum tuum, ex hoc nunc et usque in sæculum.

Ik hef mijn ogen op naar de bergen vanwaar mijn hulp zal komen. De hulp komt van de Heer die hemel en aarde gemaakt heeft. De Heer zal u bewaren van alle kwaad, uw ziel zal Hij bewaren. De Heer zal uw gangen bewaken van nu tot in eeuwigheid. Want de glorie is aan de Vader, de Zoon en de Heilige Geest zoals die was in het begin, nu en altijd en in de eeuwen der eeuwen, Amen.
