An dir, allein an dir hab ich gesündigt,
Und übel oft vor dir getan.
Du siehst die Schuld, die mir den Fluch verkündigt;
Sieh, Gott, auch meinen Jammer an.
Dir ist mein Flehn, mein Seufzen nicht verborgen,
Und meine Tränen sind vor dir.
Ach Gott, mein Gott, wie lange soll ich sorgen?
Wie lang entfernst du dich von mir?
Herr, handle nicht mit mir nach meinen Sünden,
Vergilt mir nicht nach meiner Schuld.
Ich suche dich, laß mich dein Antlitz finden,
Du Gott der Langmut und Geduld.
...
Herr, eile du, mein Schutz, mir beizustehen,
Und leite mich auf ebner Bahn.
Er hört mein Schrei'n, der Herr erhört mein Flehen
Und nimmt sich meiner Seele an.

Language: Italian (Italiano) after the German (Deutsch)
Contro di te solo, contro di te, ho peccato,
e spesso ho fatto del male davanti a te.
Tu vedi la colpa che proclama la mia maledizione;
osserva, Dio, anche la mia miseria.
Non sono nascosti a te la mia supplica, il mio sospiro,
e le mie lacrime ti sono dinnanzi.
Oh Dio, mio Dio, quanto tempo devo angustiarmi?
Per quanto tempo ti allontani da me?
Signore, vieni presto, mio tutore, per aiutarmi,
e conducimi nel sentiero della rettitudine.
Egli ascolta il mio pianto, il Signore risponde alla preghiera,
E si prende cura della mia anima.
