Lectio Sexta

Language: Latin

Our translations: ENG FRE

Quis mihi hoc tribuat, ut in inferno protegeas me,
et abscondas me, donec pertranseat furor tuus,
et constituas mihi tempus in quo recorderis mei?
Putasne, mortuus homo rursum vivat? Cunctis diebus
quibus nunc milito, expecto donec veniat immutatio mea.
Vocabis me, et ego respondebo tibi :
operi manuum tuarum porriges dexteram.
Tu quidem gressus meos dinumerasti, sed parce peccatis meis.

Sixth lesson

Language: English after the Latin

Who could arrange this for me, to protect me as you do in hell,
And to hide me until your wrath has passed,
And to decide a time for me in which you will remember me?
Do you think a dead man can live again? For all the days
Which I now serve, I will wait until my substitute comes.
You will call me, and I will reply to you: 
you will hold out your right hand to the work of your own hands.
Number out my steps by all means, but pardon my sins.
