Latin.png Latin text

Animam meam dilectam tradidi in manus iniquorum,
et facta est mihi haereditas mea sicut leo in silva

Dedit contra me voces adversaries dicens;
congregamini et properate ad devorandum illum;

Posuerunt me in deserto solitudinis el luxit super me omnis terrae,
quia non est inventus qui me agnosceret, et faceret bene.

Insurexerunt in me viri absque misericordia, et non pepercerunt animae meae.


English.png English translation

I delivered my beloved soul
into the hands of the wicked,
and my possessions have become to me
like a lion in the forest.

My adversary spoke out against me saying:
Come together and make haste to devour him.

They placed me in a solitary desert,
and all the earth mourned for me;
because nobody could be found who would claim me
and be kind to me.

Men without mercy rose up against me,
and they spared not my soul.
