Original text and translations
Wisdom 3:1-2a,3b
Justorum animae in manu Dei sunt,
et non tanget illos tormentum mortis.
Visi sunt oculis insipientium mori,
illi autem sunt in pace
English translation
Translation supplied by The St. Ann Choir, directed by William Mahrt.
The souls of the just are in the hand of God,
and the torment of death shall not touch them.
In the sight of the unwise they seemed to die;
but they are in peace.
