Zegen uw knecht die Gij uw wil gebiedt.
Ontvouw de wet die Gij ons openbaarde.
Open mijn oog, zodat het helder ziet,
dat ik de wondren van uw wet ontware.
O Heer, verberg mij uw geboden niet;
ik ben een gast en vreemdeling op aarde.

Bless your servant, to whom you command your will Reveil the law you have shown us Open my eyes that it might see clear that I will understand the miracles of you law. O Lord, do not keep your commandments from me; I am a guest and stranger on this earth. Overgenomen uit Genevan Psalter: Your servant treat with generosity that I may live your words with full devotion. Open my eyes that I might see your law. Though in your land I live as but a stranger, do not withhold your precepts from my eyes. My soul with fervour longs for your commandments
