Language: Italian (Italiano)
L'alma inquieta e confusa in sé non truova Altra cagion c'alcun grave peccato Mal conosciuto, onde non è celato All'immensa pietà c'a' miser giova. I' parlo a te, Signor, c'ogni mie pruova Fuor del tuo sangue non fa l'uom beato: Miserere di me, da ch'io son nato A la tuo legge; e non fie cosa nuova.

In schwerer Schuld nur
Language: German (Deutsch) after the Italian (Italiano)
In schwerer Schuld nur, die sie dumpf bedrückt, Der Unruh' und der Wirrsal Ursach ahnt Die Seele, doch sie bleibt nicht unbekannt Dem Mitleid, das ohne End' im Schmerz erquickt. Zu dir, o Herr, sprech' ich, denn kein Mühn beglückt Den, der die Hilfe durch dein Blut nicht fand: Erbarm' dich mein, ich bin in deiner Hand Seit der Geburt, und werd' dir nie entrückt.
