1 Prima sabbati. Psalmus David. [Domini est terra, et plenitudo ejus; orbis terrarum, et universi qui habitant in eo.

On the first day of the week, a psalm for David. The earth is the Lord’s and the fulness thereof: the world, and all they that dwell therein.

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

Who shall ascend into the mountain of the Lord: or who shall stand in his holy place?

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

The innocent in hands, and clean of heart, who hath not taken his soul in vain, nor sworn deceitfully to his neighbour.

5 hic accipiet benedictionem a Domino, et misericordiam a Deo salutari suo.

He shall receive a blessing from the Lord, and mercy from God his Saviour.
