Eternel Dieu, ne repousse pas ton oint, souviens-toi des grâces accordées à David, ton serviteur!
O Signore Iddio, non negare al tuo unto la sua richiesta; ricordati delle benignità promesse a Davide, tuo servitore
Ó SENHOR Deus, não faças virar o rosto do teu ungido; lembra-te das misericórdias de Davi teu servo.
耶和華上帝啊,求你不要厭棄你的受膏者, 要記得向你僕人 大衛 所施的慈愛。」
