Texts and Translations

Latin text

Manus tuae Domine fecerunt me et plasmaverunt me
totum in circuitu: et sic repente praecipitas me.

Variant 1
antequam vadam ad terram tenebrosam et opertam mortis caligine.

Variant 2
Memento, quæso quod sicut lutum feceris me et in pulverem reduces me.
Nonne sicut lac mulsisti me et sicut caseum me coagulasti?
Pelle et carnibus vestisti me: ossibus et nervis compegisti me.
Vitam et misericordiam tribuisti mihi et visitatio tua custodivit spiritum meum.
