Latin text Ant. Bonus est Dominus sperantibus in eum, animae quaerenti illum. Lam 3.25 Vv. In te, Domine, speravi, non confundar in aeternum: in justitia tua libera me. Inclina ad me aurem tuam: acceleras ut eruas me. Ps. 30.1-2.

English translation Ant. The Lord is good to those who hope in Him, to the soul that seeks him. Vv. In Thee, O Lord, have I hoped, let me never be confounded: deliver me in Thy justice. Bow down thy ear to me: make haste to deliver me.
