Acts12: 11; Psalm139: 1-2a) [Latin] – 11 And when Peter was come to himself, he said, Now I know of a surety, that the Lord hath sent his angel, and hath delivered me out of the hand of Herod, and from all the expectation of the people of the Jews.
1 O lord, thou hast searched me, and known me. 2 Thou knowest my downsitting and mine uprising, thou understandest my thought afar off.
Original Latin:
Nunc scio vere, quia misit Dominus angelum suum : et eripuit me de manu Herodis, et de omni exspectatione plebis Iudaeorum.
Domine, probasti me, et cognovisti me : tu cognovisti sessionem meam, et resurrectionem meam.
Gloria Patri…
