Nunc igitur Domine Deus Israël, conserva famulo tuo David patri meo quæ locutus es ei, dicens: Non auferetur de te vir coram me, qui sedeat super thronum Israël: ita tamen si custodierint filii tui viam suam, ut ambulent coram me sicut tu ambulasti in conspectu meo.
Now, therefore, O Lord God of Israel, keep with thy servant David, my father, what thou hast spoken to him, saying: There shall not be taken away of thee a man in my sight, to sit on the throne of Israel: yet so that thy children take heed to their way, that they walk before me as thou hast walked in my sight.
Nunc ergo Domino Deo Israële, conserva ad famulo tuo Davide ad patre meo que locuto es ad illo, dicente: non aufer de te viro coram me, qui sede super throno Israële: ita tamen si filios tuo custodi via suo, ut ambula coram me sicut te ambula in conspectu meo.
