Text
AEstimatus sum cum descendentibus in lacum.
FActus sum sicut homo sine adiutorio,
inter mortuos liber.
POsuerunt me in lacu inferiori,
in tenebrosis, et in vmbra mortis.
Translation
I am counted among those that go down to the dephts:
I am as a man without help,
free among the dead.
I am as a man without help,
free among the dead.
They have laid me in the deeper pit, in darkness,
and in the shadow of death.
I am as a man without help,
free among the dead.
and in the shadow of death.
I am as a man without help,
free among the dead.
[Translation: Nancho Álvarez]
