Original text and translations

Latin text

Respice in me, domine, et miserere mei,
adiuva me propter magnam bonitatem tuam,
quia tu es deus salvator meus,
in quo semper speravi.
Converte luctum meum in gaudium,
quoniam amaritudine plenus sum.

German translation

Wende dich zu mir, Herr, und sei mir gnädig,
hilf mir um deiner großen Güte willen,
denn du bist Gott, mein Retter,
in den ich immer gehofft habe.
Verwandle meine Trauer in Freude,
denn ich bin voller Bitterkeit.

Translation by Gerhard Weydt

English translation

Turn to me, my Lord, and have mercy on me,
help me for thy great goodness,
for you ar God, my saviour,
in whom I always did trust.
Turn my grief into joy,
for I am full of bitterness.
