Original text and translations

Latin text

Ego vero afflictus sum et pauper:
Dominus sollicitus est pro me.
Adjutor meus et protector meus es tu,
Deus meus, ne tardaveris.

English translation

I am poor and needy;
yet the Lord thinketh upon me.
Thou art my help and my deliverer;
make no tarrying, O my God.
(after Psalm 40:17 [Vulgate 39:18])
