Original text and translations

Latin text

Antequam comedam suspiro,
et tanquam inundantes aquæ
sic rugitus meus:
quia timor,
quem timebam,
evenit mihi
et quod verebar
accidit mihi.

Nonne dissimulavi?
nonne silui?
nonne quievi?
Et venit super me
indignatio tua, Domine.

Ecce, non est auxilium mihi in me,
et necessarii quoque mei
recesserunt a me.
