Deus, Deus meus, quare me dereliquísti? * Longe a salúte mea verba rugítus mei.
My God, my God, wherefore have Thou forsaken me? I groan, and salvation remains far from me!
Deus meus, clamo per diem, et non exáudis, * et nocte, et non est réquies mihi.
My God, I cry out during the day, and Thou dost not answer; night, and I have no rest.

Omnes vidéntes me derisérunt me; * torquéntes lábia movérunt caput:
All those who behold me laugh at me; they open their lips, they shake their heads:
«Sperávit in Dómino: erípiat eum, * salvum fáciat eum, quóniam vult eum».
"Let him surrender himself unto the Lord! May He save him, may He deliver him, since He loveth him."
Quóniam tu es qui extraxísti me de ventre, * spes mea ad úbera matris meæ.
