Psalm 25: 1-3a [Latin] – Unto thee, O Lord, do I lift up my soul. O my God, I trust in thee: let me not be ashamed, let not mine enemies triumph over me. Yea, let none that wait on thee be ashamed: let them be ashamed which transgress without cause.

Original Latin:

Ad te, Domine, levavi animam meam; Deus meus, in te confido; non erubescam; Neque irrideant me inimici mei; etenim qui te exspectant non confudentur.

Before the mountains were brought forth, or ever thou hadst formed the earth and the world, even from everlasting to everlasting, thou art God.

Dómine, refúgium factus es nobis a generatióne et progénie. Priusquam montes fierent, aut formaretur terra et orbis, a saeculo et usque in saeculum tu es, Deus. Alleluia.
