Original text and translations

Latin text Deus qui sedes super thronum et judicas aequitatem, esto refugium pauperum in tribulatione, quia tu solus laborem et dolorem consideras. Hungarian translation Isten, ki a trónon ülsz és igazságosan ítélsz, légy menedéke a szegénynek szorongatásai között, mert egyedül te nézed a nyomorgatást és a fájdalmat.

English translation God, who sittest upon the throne and judgest in equity, be a stronghold of the poor in time of trouble, for thou alone beholdest toil and pain.
