Psalm 124:7-8 [Latin: Psalmi 123:7,8] – Our soul is escaped as a bird [or “sparrow”] out of the snare of the fowlers: the snare is broken, and we are escaped. Our help is in the name of the Lord, who made heaven and earth.

Anima nostra sicut passer erepta est, de laqueo venantium; laqueus contritus est, et nos liberati sumus. Adiutorium nostrum in nomine Domini, qui fecit caelum et terram.

A bird caught in a mist net in Portugal. Our soul is escaped as a bird out of a fowler's snare, the psalmist says.

Psalm 86:1-4 [Latin: Psalmi 85:1-4] – Incline Thine ear, O Lord, to me and hear me: save Thy servant, O my God, that trusteth in Thee: have mercy on me, O Lord, for I have cried to Thee all the day. Give joy to the soul of Thy Servant; for to Thee, O Lord, I have lifted up my soul.

Inclína, Dómine, aurem tuam ad me, et exáudi me: salvum, fac servum tuum, Deus meus, sperántem in te: miserére mihi, Dómine, quóniam ad te clamávi tota die. Lætífica ánimam servi tui: quia ad te, Dómine, ánimam meam levávi.
