Original text and translations

Latin text

Dirige gressus meosin semitis tuis,
ut non moveantur vestigia mea.
Vide Domine, si via iniquitatis in me est
et deduc me in via recta.

Inclina cor meum Deus in testimonia tua.
Averte oculos meos ne videant vanitatemm.
In via tua vivifica me.

Domine ad te confugi.
Doce me facere voluntatem tuam
quia Deus meus es tu.
