Original text and translations

Latin text

Aperi domine oculos tuos et vide afflictionem nostram
circumdederunt gentes ad puniendum nos
sed tu domine, extende brachium tuum et libera animas nostras.

Afflige opprimentes nos et contumeliam entes in superbia
et custodi partem tuam et libera animas nostras.
