Versa est in luctum cithara mea,
et organum meum in vocem flentium.
Parce mihi Domine,
nihil enim sunt dies mei.

English.png English translation

My harp is tuned for lamentation,
and my flute to the voice of those who weep.
Spare me, O Lord,
for my days are as nothing.

Portuguese.png Portuguese translation

Minha harpa voltou-se ao luto
e minha flauta à voz dos que choram.
Apiedai-vos de mim, Senhor,
pois como nada são os meus dias.
