Text and translations

Latin text Peccantem me quotidie et non penitentem, Timor mortis conturbat me. Responsum Quia in inferno nulla est redemptio. Miserere mei, Deus, et salva me. Versus Deus, in nomine tuo salvum me fac, et in virtute tua libera me. Portuguese translation Estou a pecar a cada dia contudo não me arrependo; o temor da morte me conturba: Responsum Pois no inferno não há redenção. Tem misericórdia de mim, ó Deus, e salva-me. Versus Deus, salva-me em Teu nome, e livra-me pela Tua virtude.

English translation I who sin every day and am not penitent the fear of death upsets me: Responsum For in hell there is no redemption. Have mercy upon me, O God, and save me. Versus God, in your name save me, and in your virtue set me free.
