O bone et dulcissime Jesu,  
Dominus regnavit,
per tuam misericordiam esto mihi Jesus!
decorem indutus est:
Quid est Jesus nisi plasmator,  
Indutus est Dominus fortitudinem,
nisi redemp tor, nisi salvator.
et praecinxit se.
Ergo bone et dulcissime Jesu,
Etenim firmavit orbem terrae,
qui me plasmasti tua benignitate,
qui non commovebitur.
rogo te, ne pereat opus tuum
Parata sedes tua ex tunc;
mea iniquitate.
A saeculo tu es.
Ergo quaeso, anhelo, suspiro
Elevaverunt flumina, Domine,
ne perdas
Elevaverunt flumina vocem suam,
quod tua fecit omnipotens divinitas.
Elevaverunt flumina fluctus suos,
Recognosce quod tuum est
A vocibus aquarum multarum.
et ne respicias quod meum est.
                                                     
Noli cogitare malum meum,  
Mirabiles elationes maris;
ut obliviscaris bonum tuum.
Mirabilis in altis Dominus.
Testimonia tua
credibilia facta sunt nimis;
Domum tuam decet sanctitudo,
Domine, in longitudinem dierum.
Gloria Patri et Filio
et Spiritui Sancto.  
Sicut erat in principio,
et nunc, et semper,
et in saecula saeculorum, Amen.


</poem>
Si ego commisi
per quod dannare me debes,
tu non amisisti
unde me salvare potes,
Et si secundum iustitiam tuam
dannare me vis,
ad tuam piissimam et ineffabilem misericordiam
appello.
Ergo quaeso: miserere mei, miserere mei,
secundum magnam misericordiam
et pietatem tuam.
Amen.

<poem>
O good and most sweet Jesus,
The Lord reigns,
through thy mercy be my Jesus.
he is clothed with majesty:
What is Jesus but creator,
The Lord is clothed in strength,  
but redeemer, but savior!
and has girded himself.
Therefore, O good and most sweet Jesus,
For indeed he has made firm the earth,
who hast created me through thy kindness,
which will not be displaced.
I pray thee that thy work may not perish
Your throne is prepared from of old;
through my iniquity.
You are beyond the age.
Therefore I pray, I beseech, I implore
The floods have lifted up, O Lord,
that thou mayest not destroy
The floods have lifted up their voice,
what thine omnipotent divinity hath made.
The floods have lifted up their waves,
Remember what is thine
From the voices of many waters.
and do not look upon what is mine.
Do not plan my evil
so as to forget thy good.


Wonderful are the risings of the sea;
If I have committed anything
Wonderful on high is the Lord.
for which thou shouldst damn me,
Your evidences
thou hast not lost
have been made greatly believable;
the possibility to save me.
Holiness befits your house,  
And if according to thy justice
O Lord, into the length of days.
thou willest to damn me,
Glory to the Father and to the Son
to thy compassionate and ineffable mercy
and to the Holy Spirit.
I appeal.
As it was in the beginning,
Therefore I pray: have mercy upon me
and now, and forever,
according to thy great mercy
and to the ages of ages, Amen.
and compassion.
 
Amen.
