Original text and translations

Latin text

Recordare Domine testamenti tui sancti,
et dic angelo percutienti:
cesset iam manus tua
ut non desoletur terra
et ne perdas omnem animam vivam.

Adiuva nos Deus salutaris noster
et propter gloriam nominis tui Domine libera nos,
et propitius esto peccatis nostris propter nomen tuum.

Parce Domine, populo tuo quia pius es et misericors.
Exaudi nos in aeternum.
