Original text and translations

Latin text Dominator Domine caelorum et terrae Creator aquarum Rex universae creaturae: Exaudi orationem servorum tuorum. Spem in alium nunquam habuimus praeterquam in te Domine. Aperi oculos tuos et vide afflictionem nostram. Sed tu Domine extende brachium tuum et libera animas nostras ut cognoscant quia non est alius qui pugnet pro nobis nisi tu Deus noster.

English translation O Lord God of the heavens and the earth, Creator of the waters, and King over all creatures, hear the prayer of thy servant. We have no other hope save in Thee, Lord. Open thine eyes and behold our affliction, but thou, O Lord, stretch out thy arm and deliver our souls that all may acknowledge that there is no other to fight for us besides thee, our God. (c.f. Judith 9:17, Esther 14:19, Daniel 9:19)
