Parce mihi, Domine, nihil enim sunt dies mei.! Spare me, O Lord, for my days are nothing.! Quid est homo, quia magnificas eum? ! What is a man that thou shouldst magnify him?! Aut quid apponis erga eum cor tuum?! Or why dost thou set thy heart upon him? ! Visitas eum diluculo! Thou visitest him early in the morning,! et subito probas illum.! and thou provest him suddenly.! Usquequo non parcis mihi, ! How long wilt thou not spare me, ! nec dimittis me, ut glutiam salivam meam?! nor suffer me to swallow down my spittle? ! Peccavi, ! I have sinned.! quid faciam tibi, o custos hominum?! What shall I do to thee, O keeper of men? ! Quare posuisti me contrarium tibi, ! Why hast thou set me opposite to thee, ! et factus sum mihimet issi gravis?! and I am become burdensome to myself?! Cur non tolles peccatum meum, ! Why dost thou not remove my sin,! et quare non auferes iniquitatem meam? ! and why dost thou not take away mine iniquity?! Ecce, nunc in pulvere dormiam, ! Behold now, I shall sleep in the dust: ! et si mane me quaesieris, non subsistam.! and if thou seek me in the morning, I shall not be.!
