Timor et tremor

Language: Latin

Our translations: DUT ENG GER

Timor et tremor venerunt super me, 
et caligo cecidit super me:
miserere mei Domine, [miserere mei]¹
quoniam in te confidit anima mea.

Exaudi Deus deprecationem meam 
quia refugium meum es 
tu adjutor fortis.
Domine, invocavi te, non confundar.

Furcht und Zittern

Language: German (Deutsch) after the Latin

Furcht und Zittern sind über mich gekommen
und Finsternis hereingebrochen über mich:
Erbarm Dich meiner, Herr, erbarme Dich,
da meine Seele ganz auf Dich vertraut.

Gott erhöre mein Gebet,
denn Du bist meine Zuflucht und mein starker Beistand.
Herr, ich habe Dich gerufen, auf dass ich nicht verloren gehe.
