Lectio
Dóminus ab útero vocávit me,
The Lord has called me from the womb;
de ventre matris meæ recórdatus est nóminis mei;
from the womb of my mother, he has been mindful of my name.
et pósuit os meum quasi gládium acútum,
And he has appointed my mouth as a sharp sword.
in umbra manus suæ protéxit me
In the shadow of his hand, he has protected me.
et pósuit me sicut sagíttam eléctam, in pháretra sua abscóndit me.
And he has appointed me as an elect arrow. In his quiver, he has hidden me.
