Texts and translations
Latin text 8 Manus tuae Domine fecerunt me et plasmaverunt me totum in circuitu:
10 Nonne sicut lac mulsisti me et sicut caseum me coagulasti? 11 Pelle et carnibus vestisti me: ossibus et nervis compegisti me. 12 Vitam et misericordiam tribuisti mihi et visitatio tua custodivit spiritum meum.

English translation 8 Thy hands have made me, and fashioned me wholly round about,
10 Hast thou not milked me as milk, and curdled me like cheese? 11 Thou hast clothed me with skin and flesh: thou hast put me together with bones and sinews: 12 Thou hast granted me life and mercy, and thy visitation hath preserved my spirit.
