Original text and translations

Latin text

Manus tuæ fecerunt me,
et plasmaverunt me tutum in circuitu,
et sic repente præcipitas me?
Memento, quæso, quod sicut lutum feceris me,
et in pulverem reduces me.
Nonne sicut lac mulsisti me,
et sicut caseum me coagulasti?
Pelle et carnibus vestisti me,
ossibus et nervis compegisti me.
Vitam et misericordiam tribuisti mihi,
et visitatio tua custodivit spiritum meum.

Domine, quando veneris judicare terram,
ubi me abscondam a vultu iræ tuæ?
Quia peccavi nimis in vita mea.
Commissa mea pavesco,
et ante te erubesco,
dum veneris judicare,
noli me condemnare.

Requiem æternam dona eis Domine,
et lux perpetua luceat eis.
