-Versa est in luctum cithara mea,
-et organum meum in vocem flentium.
-Parce mihi Domine,
-nihil enim sunt dies mei.
-Cutis mea denigrata est super me
-et ossa mea aruerunt.

-My harp is tuned for lamentation,
-and my flute to the voice of those who weep.
-Spare me, O Lord,
-for my days are as nothing.
-My skin is become black upon me,
-and my bones are dried up.
