Latin.png Latin text

Aperi oculos tuos, Domine,
et vide afflictionem nostram.
Circumdederunt nos gentes
ad puniendum nos.
Sed tu, Domine, extende brachium tuum
et libera animas nostras.

German.png German translation

Öffne deine Augen, Herr,
und sieh an unsere Bedrängnis.
Uns umgeben Völker,
die uns züchtigen wollen.
Du aber, Herr, strecke deinen Arm aus
und erlöse unsere Seelen.

Translation by Gerhard Weydt

Open hy eyes, o Lord,
and see our affliction.
We are surrounded by people
that want to punish us.
But thou, Lord, extend thy arm
and redeem our souls.

Translation by Gerhard Weydt
