Saj ti so hlapci tvoji in ljudstvo tvoje, ki si ga odrešil z veliko močjo svojo in z mogočno roko svojo.Ah, Gospod, prosim, pazi naj uho tvoje na hlapca tvojega molitev in na molitev hlapcev tvojih, ki se želé bati imena tvojega, in dodeli danes uspeh hlapcu svojemu ter mu daj usmiljenje v očeh tega moža. – Bil sem namreč kraljev točaj.
