Original text and translations

Latin text Tribulatio et angustia invenerunt me, quia mandata tua meditatio mea est. (Ps. CXVIII:143) Tribulationem et dolorem inveni et nomen Domini invocavi. (Ps. CXIV:3-4) Tribulationes cordis mei multiplicatae sunt de necessitatibus meis erue me ut educas me de lacu inferni et de luto fecis. (Ps. XXIV:17 & Ps. XXXIX:3)

English translation Trouble and anguish have found me: thy commandments are my meditation. I met with trouble and sorrow: And I called upon the name of the Lord. The troubles of my heart are multiplied: deliver me from my necessities. Because thou wilt bring me out of the lake of misery, and the mire of dregs. (Douay, 1610)
