Nunc ergo Domine Deus Israël, imple servo tuo patri meo David quæcumque locutus es, dicens : Non deficiet ex te vir coram me, qui sedeat super thronum Israël : ita tamen si custodierint filii tui vias suas, et ambulaverint in lege mea, sicut et tu ambulasti coram me.
Therefore now, O LORD, God of Israel, keep for Your servant, my father David, what You promised when You said: ‘You will never fail to have a man to sit before Me on the throne of Israel, if only your descendants guard their way to walk in My law as you have walked before Me.’
