Lectio Quarta

Language: Latin

Our translations: ENG FRE

Responde mihi: quantas habeo iniquitates et peccata,
scelera mea atque delicta ostende mihi.
Cur faciem tuam abscondis, et arbitraris me inimicum tuum?
Contra folium, quod vento rapitur, ostendis potentiam tuam,
et stipulam siccam persequeris.
Scribis enim contra me amaritudines,
et consumere me vis peccatis adolescentiae meae.
Posuisti in nervo pedem meum, et observasti omnes semitas meas,
et vestigia pedum meorum considerasti:
qui quasi putrendo consumendus sum,
et quasi vestimentum, quod comeditur a tinea.

Quatrième lecture

Language: French (Français) after the Latin

Réponds-moi : combien ai-je d'iniquités et de péchés,
Montre-moi mes crimes et mes fautes.
Pourquoi caches-tu ton visage, et me juges-tu comme ton ennemi ?
Contre une feuille, que le vent emporte, tu montres ta puissance,
et tu poursuis de la paille sèche.
Car tu écris contre moi des choses amères,
tu veux me consumer avec le fautes et de mon adolescence.
Tu as posé mon pied sur une corde, et tu as regardé tous mes chemins,
et tu as examiné les traces de mes pas,
moi qui dois être consumé comme de la pourriture,
et comme un vêtement qui est mangé par les mites.
