Latin text
Anni nostri sicut aranea meditabuntur,
dies annorum nostrorum in ipsis septuaginta anni,
si autem potentatibus, octoginta anni,
et amplius eorum labor et dolor.
(Ps. 89;9b-10)
English translation
Our years shall be considered as a spider,
The days of our years in them are seventy years.
But if in the strong, they be eighty years,
and what is more of them is labour and sorrow.
Hungarian translation
A mi esztendeink pókhálók gyanánt tekinthetők;
a mi éveink napjai hetven esztendő,
jó erőben, nyolcvan esztendő,
s mi azok fölött van, fáradság és fájdalom.
