Original text and translations

Latin text Adhaesit pavimento anima mea; vivifica me secundum verbum tuum. Vias meas enuntiavi; et exaudisti me. Doce me justificationes tuas. Viam justificationum tuarum instrue me; et exercebor in mirabilibus tuis. Dormitavit anima mea prae taedio; confirma me in verbis tuis. Viam iniquitatis amove a me, et de lege tua miserere mei. Viam veritatis elegi, judicia tua non sum oblitus. Adhaesi testimoniis tuis, Domine; noli me confundere. Viam mandatorum tuorum cucurri, cum dilatasti cor meum. Amen.

English translation My soul has cleaved to the dust; revive me according to your word! I told of my ways, and you heard me; teach me your statutes! Instruct me in the way of your precepts, and I will meditate on your wondrous works. My soul has melted away for sorrow; strengthen me according to your word! Put false ways far from me; and by your law have mercy on me. I have chosen the way of truth, I have not neglected your ordinances. I have cleaved to your testimonies, O Lord; let me not be put to shame! I have run in the way of your commandments, for you have enlarged my understanding! Amen.
