Original text and translations

Latin text Ego sum, qui sum, et consilium meum non est cum impiis: sed in lege Domini voluntas mea est: Alleluia. Postulavi patrem meum dedit mihi gentes in haereditatem: Alleluia. Ego dormivi et somnum cepi, et resurrexi: quoniam Dominus suscepit me: Alleluia.

English translation I am who I am, and my counsel is not with the wicked, but my will is in the law of the Lord, alleluia. I asked my Father, and he gave me the nations as an inheritance. I slept and took rest, and rose, for the Lord hath protected me, alleluia.
