Original text and translations

Latin text Beati immaculati in via;  qui ambulant in lege Domini. Beati qui scrutantur  testimonia ejus,  in toto corde exquirunt eum. Non enim qui operantur iniquitatem  in viis ejus ambulaverunt. Tu mandasti mandata tua  custodiri nimis. Utinam dirigantur viae meae  ad custodiendas justificationes tuas. Tunc non confundar  cum perspexero  in omnibus mandatis tuis. Confitebor tibi in directione cordis,  in eo quod didici  judicia justitiae tuae. Justificationes tuas custodiam;  non me derelinquas usquequaque. Amen.

English translation Blessed are those whose way is blameless,  who walk in the law of the Lord! Blessed are those who examine  his testimonies,  who seek him with their whole heart. For those who do evil have not  walked in his ways. Thou hast commanded thy precepts  to be kept diligently. O that my ways may be steadfast  in keeping thy statutes! Then I shall not be confused  when I investigate  all thy commandments. I will praise thee with an upright heart,  to the extent that I have learned  thy righteous ordinances. I will observe thy statutes;  O forsake me not utterly! Amen.
