Ps. 23. Domini est terra, et plenitudo ejus: orbis terrarum, et universi qui habitant in eo.

Quia ipse super maria fundavit eum: et super flumina praeparavit eum.

Quis ascendet in montem Domini? * aut quis stabit in loco sancto ejus.

Innocens manibus, et mundo corde: * qui non accepit in vano animam suam, nec juravit in dolo proximo suo?

Hic accipiet benedictionem a Domino: * et misericordiam a Deo salutari suo.

Haec est generatio quaerentiam eum : quaerentium faciem Dei Jacob.
