Libera me, Domine, et pone
Language: Latin
Available translation(s): ENG
Libera me, Domine, et pone me iuxta te,
et cuiusvis manus pugnet contra me.
Dies mei transierunt,
cogitationes meae dissipatae sunt,
torquentes cor meum,
noctem verterunt in diem,
et rursum post tenebras spero lucem.

Deliver me Lord and place me
Language: English  after the Latin
Deliver me, Lord, and place me next to you,
then the hand of any man may fight against me.
My days have passed,
my thoughts are scattered
and torturing my heart;
they have turned night to day,
and after dark I hope for light again.
