Original text and translations

Latin text Prima pars Domine, quando veneris, judicare terram, ubi me ascondam a vultu irae tuae? Quia peccavi nimis in vita mea. Secunda pars Commissa mea pavesco, et ante te erubesco: dum veneris judicare noli me condemnare, quia peccavi nimis in vita mea.

English translation R.  O Lord, when thou comest to judge the earth, whither shall I hide me from the presence of thy wrath? * For I have sinned grievously in my life. V.  I begin to fear my misdeeds, and blush before thee: when thou comest to judgment, condemn me not. R.  For I have sinned grievously in my life. [last verse, not set:] V.  Eternal rest grant unto them, O Lord, and let perpetual light shine upon them. R.  For I have sinned grievously in my life.
