The Ordinal of the papal court from Innocent III to Boniface VIII and related documents by Stephen J. P. van Dijk; completed by Joan Hazelden Walker (Fribourg: University Press, 1975) is one of those books one just can't find anywhere. So far as I can read it online, it gives a completely different rendering of the beginning of the sequence:
Domine in tua: O Lord, I trust in your merciful love. My heart will rejoice in your salvation. I will sing to the Lord who has been bountiful with me.
Deus in te sperantium: O GOD, the strength of all those who put their trust in thee; Mercifully accept our prayers; and because, through the weakness of our mortal nature, we can do no good thing without thee, grant us the help of thy grace, that in keeping thy commandments we may please thee, both in will and deed; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
1 St. John iv. 8. (Love Comes from God)
St. Luke vi. 36. (Love Your Enemies)
Factus est: The Lord became my protector, and He brought me forth into a large place: He saved me, because He was well pleased with me.
Sancti nominis tuis: O LORD, who never failest to help and govern those whom thou dost bring up in thy stedfast fear and love; Keep us, we beseech thee, under the protection of thy good providence, and make us to have a perpetual fear and love of thy holy Name; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
1 St. John iii. 13. (Love One Another)
St. Luke xiv. 16. (The Parable of the Banquet)
Respice in me: Look Thou upon me, O Lord, and have mercy on me: for I am alone and poor. See my abjection and my labor; and forgive me all my sins, O my God.
Protector in te sperantium: O GOD, the protector of all that trust in thee, without whom nothing is strong, nothing is holy; Increase and multiply upon us thy mercy; that, thou being our ruler and guide, we may so pass through things temporal, that we finally lose not the things eternal. Grant this, O heavenly Father, for Jesus Christ's sake our Lord. Amen.

St. Luke xv. 1. (The Parable of the Lost Sheep)
