Original text and translations

Latin text Domine Deus meus, exaltasti super terram habitationem meam, et pro morte defluente deprecata sum. Invocavi Dominum patrem Domini mei, ut non derelinquat me in die tribulationis mæ, et in tempore superborum sine adjutorio. Laudabo nomen tuum assidue, et collaudabo illud in confessione: et exaudita est oratio mea et liberasti me de perditione, et eruisti me de tempore iniquo, propterea confitebor tibi. Et laudem dicam nomine tuo, Domine Deus noster.

English translation O Lord my God, thou hast exalted my earthly dwelling place, and I have prayed for the waning of death. I called upon the Lord, the father of my Lord, that he would not leave me in the day of my adversities, nor without succour in the time of the haughty. I will praise thy name constantly, and will extol it with thanksgiving: and my prayer was heard and you delivered me from destruction, and rescued me in the time of adversity: therefore I will acknowledge thee. And I will praise thy name, O Lord our God. (trans. Timmi O'Danaos & Donna Ferrentes)
