Psalms 130

1canticum graduum David Domine non est exaltatum cor meum neque elati sunt oculi mei neque ambulavi in magnis neque in mirabilibus super me 2si non humiliter sentiebam sed exaltavi animam meam sicut ablactatum super matrem suam ita retributio in anima mea 3speret Israhel in Domino ex hoc nunc et usque in saeculum
