Angelis suis mandavit de te,
ut custodiant te in omnibus viis tuis;
In manibus portabunt te,
ne umquam offendas ad lapidem pedem tuum.
He has commanded his angels on your behalf,
to guard you in all your ways.
They will bear you in their hands,
so that you will not strike your foot against a stone.

Vers. 1
Super aspidem et basiliscum ambulabis,
et conculcabis leonem et draconem.
You will step on the asp and the viper;
you will trample the lion and the dragon.
