Dilexi, quoniam exaudiet Dominus, vocem orationis meae.
Quia inclinavit aurem suam mihi: et in diebus meis invocabo.
Circumdederunt me dolores mortis: et pericula inferni invenerunt me.
Tribulationem et dolorem inveni: et nomen Domini invocavi.
O Domine, libera animam meam: misericors Dominus, et iustus, et Deus noster miseretur.
Custodiens parvulos Dominus: humiliatus sum, et liberavit me.

Quia eripuit animam meam de morte: oculos meos a lacrimis, pedes meos a lapsu.
Placebo Domino in regione vivorum.
-- Psalmus 114, Feria secunda ad Vesperas, Breviarium Romanum
