Circumdederunt me dolores mortis, et pericula inferni invenerunt me.
Tribulationem et dolorem inveni, et nomen Domini invocavi. O Domine, libera animam meam.

The sorrows of death have compassed me: and the perils of hell have found me.
I met with trouble and sorrow: And I called upon the name of the Lord. O Lord, deliver my soul.
