Text and translations

Latin text Prima Pars Aspice, Domine de sede sancta tua, et cogita de nobis; Inclina, Deus meus, aurem tuam et audi; Aperi oculos tuos et vide tribulationem nostram. Secunda Pars Respice Domine, de sanctuario tuo et de excelsis caelorum habitaculis.

English translation First part Look down, O Lord, from thy holy seat, and think on us: Incline thine ear, O my God, and hear. Open thine eyes and behold our tribulation. Second part Look down, O Lord, from thy sanctuary and thy high heavenly dwellings.
