Original text and translations

Original text and translations may be found at Sub tuum praesidium. The text differs slightly from the usual version, and is thus:

Latin text Sub tuum praesidium ad te confugimus, sancta Dei genetrix; nostras deprecationes ne despicias in necessitatibus, sed a periculis cunctis libera nos, semper virgo gloriosa et benedicta.

English translation by Edward Tambling We fly to thy patronage, O holy Mother of God; despise not our prayers in our necessities, but deliver us from all dangers, O ever glorious and blessed virgin.
