1Canticum graduum David.A Canticle in steps: of David.Domine,O Lord,non est exaltatum cor meum,my heart has not been exalted,neque elati sunt oculi mei,and my eyes have not been raised up.neque ambulavi in magnis, neque in mirabilibus super me.Neither have I walked in greatness, nor in wonders beyond me.
2Si non humiliter sentiebam,When I was not humble in thought,sed exaltavi animam meam:then I lifted up my soul.sicut ablactatus est super matre sua,Like one who has been weaned from his mother,ita retributio in anima mea.so was I recompensed in my soul.
3Speret Israël in Domino,Let Israel hope in the Lord,ex hoc nunc et usque in sæculum.from this time forward and even forever.
