Original text and translations

Latin text Vestigia mea dirige in verbo tuo, et non dominabitur mei ulla iniquitas: respice me et miserere mei Deus; faciem tuam illumina super me et doce me statute tua.

English translation Translation by Edward Tambling Direct my footsteps in your word[, O Lord], and let not any iniquity have any dominion over me: look upon me and have mercy upon me, O God; show the light of your face upon me and teach me your statutes. (a paraphrase of Psalm 119:133, 135)
