Original text and translations

Junior fui etenim senui et non vidi justum derelictum
nec semen ejus quaerens panem.
Tota die miseretur et commodat
et semen illius in benedictione erit.

Declina a malo et fac bonum et inhabita in saeculum saeculi.
Custodi innocentiam et vide aequitatem
quoniam sunt reliquiae homini pacifico.
(Ps. 36;25-27,37)

English.png English translation

I have been young and now am old; and I have not seen the just forsaken,
nor his seed seeking bread.
He sheweth mercy, and lendeth all the day long;
and his seed shall be in blessing.

Decline from evil and do good, and dwell for ever and ever.
Keep innocence, and behold justice:
for there are remnants for the peaceable man.

Hungarian.png Hungarian translation

Ifjú voltam és megöregedtem: de nem láttam, hogy az igaz elhagyatott,
sem hogy az ő ivadéka kenyeret kéregetett volna.
Napestig könyörűl és kölcsön ad; és ivadéka áldásban leszen.

Távozzál a gonosztól, és cselekedjél jót, és megmaradsz örökön örökké.
Őrizd meg az ártatlanságot, és nézd az igazságot:
mert vannak maradékai a békeséges embernek.
