Exaltábo te, Dómine, quóniam suscepísti me, nec delectásti inimícos meos super me. V. Glória Patri, et Fílio, et Spirítui Sancto. R. Sicut erat in princípio, et nunc, et semper, et in sǽcula sæculórum. Amen. v. Si díligis me, Simon Petre, pasce agnos meos, pasce oves meas. (Allelúja, allelúja.)
v. I will extol thee, O Lord, for thou hast upheld me: and hast not made my enemies to rejoice over me. V. Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Ghost. R.
