- Inscription: Dirige, D[omi]ne [Deus meus, in conspectu tuo viam meam]…Psalm 5: Verba mea auribus percipe Domine intellege clamorem meum, Intende voci orationis meae rex meus et Deus meus, Quoniam ad te orabo Domine mane exaudies vocem meam, Mane adstabo tibi et videbo quoniam non deus volens iniquitatem tu es, Neque habitabit iuxta te malignus neque permanebunt iniusti ante oculos tuos, Odisti omnes qui operantur iniquitatem Translation: Response: Direct, O Lord my God, my steps in your sight... Psalm 5: Give ear, O Lord, to my words, understand my cry. Hearken to the voice of my prayer, O my King and my God., For to thee will I pray: O Lord, in the morning thou shalt hear my voice., In the morning I will stand before thee, and will see: because thou art not a God that willest iniquity, Neither shall the wicked dwell near thee: nor shall the unjust abide before thy eyes, Thou hatest all the workers of iniquity..
